You say that Rods, and it is very much a can of worms that needs addressing... but...
If it transpires that everyone looked at retrospectively may or may not have known/been involved/suspected but been afraid to speak out or simply turned a blind eye, what happens then?
The Met (which has almost zero public acceptance), the oft mentioned Establishment (which is the basis of our democratic society), the NHS and civil service will, I suspect, all be very much implicated.
What happens then? Introduction of a new system? A new way of organising the very pillars of society? Who pays for that? Will the new boss be any better than the old boss?
These despicable acts happened, many of the perpetrators are dead or dying and tragically, most of the victims will never receive justice or peace for their ordeals, and I for one can't begin to understand how that feels.
We know that these events happened, and overtime systems have been put in place to prevent such things from happening to our children, and their children should be even better protected from these vile predators.
The core question I ask is this?
When do we stop looking for skeletons? And how much are we, as a society, prepared to sacrifice until there are no cupboards left to open?
The past is behind us and perhaps, rightly or wrongly, it should stay there
