The Islington Mafia

Islington is a suburb of London which became fashionable among Labour politicians because it was near to the centre of things, run down and relatively cheap. They included Blair, Hodge, Comrade Corbyn & his agent Derek Sawyer, Chris Smith, 'Baron' Smith of Finsbury, a Homosexual

PS Corbyn And Child Abuse tells us that Jeremy was told about serious child abuse in Islington where he lives. Ditto for the Daily Mail at  Jeremy Corbyn 'did nothing' after being told of paedophiles in his borough. So was Hodge, a rich Jew. They didn't deliver. But there were connections to Paedophile Information Exchange.

Margaret Hodge née Oppenheimer is a rich Jew with an ugly track record. Covering up for paedophiles like Mark Trotter does not amuse. Nor does getting away with it. The genuine Labour Party people of Barking were not delighted by having her foisted on them. Jack Straw, another nasty little Jew was part of that. Colluding with Vodaphone to screw Englishmen may have been profitable for her but not us. The Wikipedia's write up leaves a nasty taste. There is more on her nasty politics at Corbyn Kept Quiet About Islington Paedophiles

Progressives Defend Rape

sounds good so Progressives must be good! Yes or NO? NO is the answer. Progressivism is a False Flag used by Marxists and Lenin's Useful Idiots. They approve of rape when the perpetrators are Islamic and the victims are English or even just European. Lots of girls in Malmö, the Rape Capital Of Scandinavia & Rotherham found out about the Hard Left the hard way.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Righton

Peter Righton ex Wiki
Paul Pelham Righton[1] (14 April 1926 – 12 October 2007),[2][3] known as Peter Righton, was a child protection expert and social care worker, and a convicted child molester. In 2013, the Metropolitan Police launched Operation Cayacos to investigate claims that Righton was part of an establishment paedophile network.

Career

Righton worked in children's homes, including in Maidstone, Kent, and was a lecturer in child protection and residential care, including at the Open University and in Birmingham. He was Director of Education at the National Institute of Social Work,[4] and vice-chairman of governors at New Barns School in Toddington, Gloucestershire.[5] He was also a consultant to the National Children's Bureau.[6] Righton justified relationships between adults and children in his academic work[6] - he wrote in Social Work Today in 1977 that "Provided there is no question of exploitation, sexual relationships freely entered into by residents – including adolescents – should not be a matter for automatic inquiry", and wrote in the book Perspectives on Paedophilia that "Most child molesters, if paedophile at all, are so only incidentally. Most of those I have called 'dispositional' paedophiles, when they engage in sexual activity with children, do not molest them... On the contrary, the child's consent is usually of cardinal importance to them."[7][8]

Child abuse and conviction

Journalist Nick Davies called Righton "a notorious paedophile who attempted to legitimise his obsession in a series of academic studies."[4] Righton was a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (number 51).[6] Child protection manager Peter McKelvie helped in the investigation. Righton, then living in Evesham, was convicted by a magistrates court in September 1992 of importing child pornography magazines and photographs after Customs and Excise intercepted material being sent to him from the Netherlands that April. A police raid on his home uncovered other paedophile magazines, and letters to and from other paedophiles containing details of abuse. He was fined £900 with £75 costs for importing child abuse images, had the magazines destroyed, and was cautioned for an historical assault.[3][1][6][9] The BBC's Inside Story documentary reported in 1994 that he was allowed to leave a boarding school under a "gentleman's agreement" after being found to have abused boys. He had confessed past abuse to child protection colleagues, but they did not act on this out of loyalty to him.[10][11] A former student of his wrote that his position of power, authority and charisma allowed him and other paedophiles to avoid detection and to lead some to turn a blind eye to suspicions.[12] Liz Davies, a reader in child protection at London Metropolitan University who was involved in the investigation into his abuses in Islington, wrote that Righton was allowed to live on the Thornham Magna estate of Lord Henniker in Suffolk, where children from Islington continued to be taken, apparently until his death;[13] Member of Parliament Tom Watson wrote that the Chief Constable of Suffolk warned against Righton being allowed to live on the estate but was ignored.[14]

In October 2012, Watson claimed that Righton was involved in a paedophile ring with connections to the British Government.[6] Former West Mercia police detective Terry Shutt made similar claims in 2014.[3] Operation Cayacos, an investigation into historical claims of child abuse being conducted by the Metropolitan Police, began investigating claims of a paedophile network connected to Righton in 2013.[15] Operation Cayacos is a spin-off of Operation Fairbank, investigating the Elm Guest House child abuse scandal.[16]

A blind eye to child abuse: Whistleblowers warned Labour leadership favourite Jeremy Corbyn of paedophiles preying on children on his doorstep - but claim he did NOTHING

Social workers warned Corbyn that child abuse was rife in his Islington constituency in 1992 

  • ‘We'd been seeing so many 12 to 15-year-olds who were being sexually exploited, we could hardly believe it,’ Liz Davies, one of the five social workers, recalled this week
  • Corbyn never wrote to Davies, or telephoned, to acknowledge their meeting, or thank her for seeking to blow the whistle 
  • In 1992, social workers told Jeremy Corbyn (pictured that year) that organised child abuse was rife in his Islington constituency

    In 1992, social workers told Jeremy Corbyn (pictured that year) that organised child abuse was rife in his Islington constituency

    At his constituency office in North London, the Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn sits down to a pre-arranged meeting with five very anxious social workers. 

    His visitors on that day in 1992 include four current or recent employees of Islington Council, the London borough where Corbyn’s constituency is situated. Their jobs are to safeguard some of its poorest and most vulnerable children.

    To that end, they want to share some deeply troubling news with the local MP. For some time, the social workers tell Corbyn, a near-constant stream of drugged, hungry, distressed and often tearful young people have been turning up at their offices each day and exhibiting tell-tale signs of sexual abuse.

    Many are residents of Islington Council’s children’s homes, where they seem to have been raped and assaulted by staff and visitors. 

    Some spend time at a flat nearby called ‘The Hot House’, which appears to be operating as a child brothel. A few also exhibit signs of being trafficked around London, the Home Counties and even abroad by organised paedophile networks.

    The social workers tell Corbyn that they have recently come to the conclusion that organised child abuse is occurring across Islington on an alarming scale.

    ‘We had been seeing so, so many 12 to 15-year-olds who were being sexually exploited that we could hardly believe it,’ Liz Davies, one of the five social workers, recalled this week.

    ‘These children would be queuing up outside our offices at 9am for help. Most of them had obviously been out all night. We discovered that they were being driven around the country in vans.

    ‘I’d personally identified at least 61 potential abuse victims in our small patch of Islington.’

    The scale of the problem suggested to Davies and her colleagues that paedophile gangs were targeting young people, on a nightly basis, across the borough.

    Demetrious Panton is a survivor of abuse
    Panton told Corbyn in August 1992 that ‘very bad things had happened’ to him when he’d been living at an Islington care home several years earlier

    Demetrious Panton (left), a survivor of abuse, told Corbyn (right) in August 1992 that ‘very bad things had happened’ to him when he’d been living at an Islington care home several years earlier

    Things were at their worst in children’s homes, she informed Corbyn, where even known sex-abusers, and convicted child pornographers seemed able to commit crimes with impunity, sometimes staying overnight, with the apparent consent of council employees.

    ‘For a time, I had been putting vulnerable children into Islington’s homes to be safe,’ she says. ‘It took me a while to realise that was the worst possible place, because they were being abused there, too.’

    So bad was the apparent problem that, earlier that year, Davies and a fellow social worker called David Cofie had attempted to blow the whistle to Margaret Hodge, the then leader of Islington Council who went on to become a prominent Labour MP. To their dismay, however, Hodge ignored the duo’s concerns.

    Davies and several colleagues — including Neville Mighty, a children’s home manager, and a social worker called Celia Stubbs — had therefore scheduled a meeting with Corbyn in an attempt to persuade him to take the issue seriously.

    On that day in 1992, they duly ‘told him everything’, says Davies.

    ‘We were in his office for more than an hour. We shared all of our concerns, including our fears that local children had been murdered by abusers.’

    Corbyn listened politely. ‘He responded that he’d heard similar things from other constituents, and promised to do something about it, starting by talking to Virginia Bottomley, the Health Secretary,’ says Davies.

    ‘We were very pleased to hear him say that. I’d say that we all left the room feeling heartened.’

    But not for long.

    Days before Davies had arranged that meeting with Corbyn, the London Evening Standard newspaper had published sensational allegations regarding the widespread abuse of vulnerable children in Islington.

    In the weeks, months, and years that followed, those allegations would snowball into a major public scandal.

    Social workers attempted to blow the whistle to Margaret Hodge, the then leader of Islington Council who went on to become a prominent Labour MP. Hodge (above, in 1993) ignored their concerns

    It emerged, during that time, that paedophiles had been able to systematically rape and sexually abuse scores of vulnerable boys and girls in the borough throughout the Seventies and Eighties, infiltrating all 12 of its children’s homes in the process.

    The Labour-run council had, meanwhile, both facilitated the abuse by employing known paedophiles and brazenly attempted to cover it up, shredding crucial documents and dismissing subsequent media reports about the scandal as ‘gutter journalism’.

    Staff who raised concerns were accused of racism and homophobia, and often hounded out of their jobs. Some, including Liz Davies and Neville Mighty, received death threats.

    Almost 30 council employees accused of child sex crimes were allowed to take early retirement (on generous pensions) instead of being subjected to formal investigations or referred to the police.

    As this revolting saga unfolded, Davies and her colleagues expected Corbyn to begin demanding that something be done about it.

    He was, after all, an outspoken Left-wing ‘firebrand’. And, thanks to their briefing, he had detailed knowledge of the scale of the scandal.

    Surely, they thought, Corbyn would therefore stop at nothing to protect Islington’s vulnerable children, and to bring rapists, pornographers and possible murderers to justice

    Or so they hoped. But, in the event, Davies and her fellow social workers would be sorely disappointed.

    Corbyn never wrote to Davies, or telephoned, to acknowledge their meeting, or thank her for seeking to blow the whistle.

    ‘After that meeting, we never heard another thing,’ Davies recalls. ‘There was no letter. No phone call. I never, ever saw him speak about it.

    ‘In fact, whenever I saw Jeremy afterwards, sometimes years later at Stop The War marches and events like that, I’d always go up to him and say: “This scandal is still going on, Jeremy.” He’d be very polite, but he never seemed to do anything.’

    Indeed, 23 years later, Liz Davies has yet to see Corbyn express what she regards as sufficient anger, or regret, over the Islington abuse scandal, or to publicly criticise the many local politicians, council workers and political allies who allowed it to happen in the first place.

    This seems highly pertinent given that Corbyn is now standing for the Labour leadership, at a time when historic abuse allegations are to be the subject of a major public inquiry.

    Indeed, the question of what Jeremy Corbyn did, or didn’t do, when the now notorious child sex scandal hit his Islington North constituency all those years ago, became a talking point in the current leadership election.

    Fellow Labour MP John Mann published an open letter accusing him of ‘doing nothing’ to prevent the abuse. ‘Your inaction in the 1980s and 1990s says a lot — not about your personal character, which I admire, but about your politics, which I do not,’ Mann wrote, adding that the Left-winger’s track record on the issue made it ‘inappropriate’ for him to now become party leader.

    Mann further pointed out that, in a separate 1986 incident, Corbyn had gone so far as to attack the Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens for drawing public attention to the alleged existence of a child brothel on Islington’s Elthorne housing estate.

    After Dickens — who was convinced there was a conspiracy to cover up widespread paedophilic abuse in political circles and the security services — had raised fears of a child prostitution racket operating there, Corbyn used a local newspaper to accuse the Tory backbencher of ‘getting cheap publicity at the expense of innocent children’.

    Then he formally complained to the Commons Speaker about Dickens visiting the constituency without first informing him, calling those actions ‘irresponsible’.

    The Paedophile Information Exchange was popular at the time of the Islington abuse scandal. The lobby group held that paedophiles were merely an oppressed minority, who ‘loved’ children and wanted to liberate them sexually. PIE was controversially granted ‘affiliate’ status within the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL), a pressure group which became Liberty. At the time, the NCCL was run by Patricia Hewitt, along with Harriet Harman, the Labour Party’s current acting leader, and her husband Jack Dromey, also now a Labour MP.

At the time, the NCCL was run by Patricia Hewitt (left), the future Blairite minister, along with Harriet Harman (right), the Labour Party’s current acting leader, and her husband Jack Dromey (centre), also now a Labour MP

    With these incidents in mind, Mann argued that Corbyn had ‘inadvertently helped the rubbishing and cover-up’ of abuse, and was therefore unsuitable to ‘attempt to lead the Labour Party’.

    That’s quite a claim.

    So it was perhaps little wonder that, in response to the letter, Corbyn’s camp should issue an angry statement saying Mann’s comments marked a ‘new low’ in the ill-tempered leadership campaign.

    The statement, issued in the past ten days, formally denied, among other things, that he turned a blind eye to the Islington scandal.

    ‘Jeremy Corbyn has a long record of standing up for his constituents,’ it read. ‘He called for an independent inquiry into child abuse in Islington at the time, and has taken this strong line ever since.’ That response drew the sting out of Mann’s charges, and in the days that followed, Corbyn found himself propelled to front-runner status in the leadership race, after receiving important endorsements from major trade unions.

    But Mann stands by his allegations. And with the issue unresolved as the Labour leadership campaign enters its final weeks, much of Corbyn’s credibility would appear to now rest on two important questions.

    First: did Corbyn really ‘call for an inquiry’ into the Islington scandal in the early Nineties, as he now claims? And, second, did he indeed, as he again claims, take a ‘strong line’ over allegations of child abuse in his borough?

    On the first issue, things would appear, at best, unclear.

    Liz Davies certainly can’t remember him saying anything of that nature. And the Mail has been unable to find newspaper cuttings, recorded public statements, or extracts from Hansard, in which he makes such a call.

    All that can be found is a single, short quote he gave to the Evening Standard a couple of days after the scandal broke, commenting: ‘These allegations are extremely serious and must be properly investigated.’

    Does that constitute ‘calling for an inquiry’? Up to a point, perhaps. But it hardly provides evidence that he campaigned relentlessly on the issue, as Davies and fellow whistle-blowers hoped he would.

    That seems odd. After all, Corbyn is never usually afraid to make a stand on issues he deems important, or to demand public inquiries into matters deemed scandalous in Left-wing circles. Such interventions rarely pass without gaining some form of public attention.

    Over the years, he’s been mentioned in print calling for inquiries into dozens of incidents, from Bloody Sunday, to the Afghan and Iraq wars, to the mysterious death in 1984 of anti-nuclear protester Hilda Murrell, to the tendering process for bus routes through Islington.

    However, of his alleged call for an inquiry into the all-important Islington abuse scandal, there appears to be no trace.

    A spokesman for Corbyn was unable to identify, when asked this week, where or when he might have made such a call, or where a record of it might now be. However, his campaign insists their recent statement is accurate and we must, of course, take them at their word.

    Then there is the question of whether Corbyn did, as he now so vigorously claims, take a ‘strong line’ when presented with details of the Islington abuse scandal in 1992.

    [Corbyn] was polite but never seemed to do anything

    Liz Davies believes otherwise. And so do at least two other people who attempted to bring important aspects of it to Corbyn’s attention at the time. One is Eileen Fairweather, the journalist who first broke news of the Islington scandal in the Evening Standard in October that year.

    She, like Davies before her, also held a meeting with Corbyn at the time, informing him of the seriousness of the child abuse and shared detailed evidence about how the borough’s children were suffering.

    Again, like Davies, she says that the MP listened politely, but never wrote, or called, after the meeting, to thank her, and responded to her claims with ‘inaction’.

    The other is Demetrious Panton, a survivor of abuse who told Corbyn in August 1992 that ‘very bad things had happened’ to him when he’d been living at an Islington care home several years earlier.

    Though he never detailed what these ‘bad things’ were, or disclosed to Corbyn that he’d been sexually abused, Panton was dismayed over the ensuing years by what he regards as Corbyn’s silence on the scandal.

    Both of their claims will be considered in more detail later. First, however, some context.

    The Islington abuse scandal has its roots in the extraordinary belief, popular in progressive circles during the Sixties and Seventies, that paedophiles were merely an oppressed minority, who ‘loved’ children and wanted to liberate them sexually.

    Advancing this morally bankrupt argument was the Paedophile Information Exchange [PIE], a lobby group which campaigned for the ‘rights’ of predatory sex offenders and the abolition of the age of consent, and which was controversially granted ‘affiliate’ status within the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL), a pressure group which became Liberty.

    At the time, the NCCL was being run by Patricia Hewitt, the future Blairite minister, along with Harriet Harman, the Labour Party’s current acting leader, and her husband Jack Dromey, also now a Labour MP.

    PIE’s founder, Peter Righton (above) - a prominent social worker later prosecuted for importing child pornography from Holland - was put in charge of training courses on which council staff learned how to care for vulnerable children. Righton, who had a flat in the borough (as did PIE’s one-time key member, his friend Morris Fraser) once boasted: ‘Every Islington care home manager knows I like boys from 12’

Righton, who had a flat in the borough (as did PIE’s one-time key member, his friend Morris Fraser) once boasted: ‘Every Islington care home manager knows I like boys from 12’

    A member of the ruling NCCL executive was a lawyer called Henry Hodge. His wife was Margaret, the Labour leader of Islington when the scandal first unfolded. Ms Hewitt has since apologised for her dealings with PIE, though Harman and Dromey insist they have nothing to say sorry for.

    By the Eighties, PIE propaganda, along with the dogma of political correctness, had become so entrenched in the modus operandi of Left-wing councils that, in some of them, sex offenders were able to operate with virtual impunity.

    So it was in Labour-run Islington, where the political elite regarded anyone who attempted to blow the whistle on child sex crimes as being motivated by homophobia, and where paedophiles posing as gay adult men were routinely allowed to stay overnight in the rooms of vulnerable residents of children’s homes.

    Complaints of abuse were systematically brushed under the carpet by officials who appeared to give more weight to the so-called human rights of paedophiles than those of children.

    PIE’s founder, Peter Righton — a prominent social worker later prosecuted for importing child pornography from Holland — was put in charge of training courses on which council staff learned how to care for vulnerable children.

    Righton, who had a flat in the borough (as did PIE’s one-time key member, his friend Morris Fraser) once boasted: ‘Every Islington care home manager knows I like boys from 12.’

    Under Islington Council’s then trendy equal opportunities rules, employees who declared themselves gay, or who came from an ethnic minority, were hired ahead of rivals, and also exempted from intrusive background checks that were supposed to prevent paedophiles working with children.

    That explains how Michael Taylor, an Islington care home manager exposed in a later court case as a PIE member, was put in charge of several homes in which abuse occurred. He was later jailed for four years for abusing vulnerable children.

    It also explains how social workers such as Liz Davies were told, by their superiors, to place vulnerable children with foster parents whom they had reported as suspected abusers, a fact which eventually prompted Davies to resign from her job. 

    But we digress. For when the scandal broke, in October 1992, Islington Council responded with a classic display of denial and obfuscation.

    Margaret Hodge accused Eileen Fairweather of ‘gutter journalism’, said the abuse claims were untrue, and claimed, wrongly, that alleged victims had been paid for interviews.

    It would be more than a decade before Hodge apologised for the slur, claiming she had issued it after being lied to by unnamed members of staff.

    In the meantime, the scandal left local MP Jeremy Corbyn in a very tricky position indeed.

    A self-confessed Marxist, who before entering Parliament had been a full-time ‘organiser’ for the National Union of Public Employees, which represented town hall staff, he would not just upset such political allies as Hodge, Hewitt, Dromey and Harman by speaking out. He might also offend and compromise comrades in the trades union movement.

    Many of Corbyn’s close political associates were also implicated in the controversy, including Derek Sawyer, his agent, who became council leader at Islington after Hodge moved on in 1992.

    With this in mind, perhaps the easiest option for Corbyn would have been to remain largely silent. Is that the path he chose?

    Demetrious Panton certainly thinks so. Now a successful barrister, he has spent much of the past 20 years campaigning for justice for fellow child abuse victims, many of whom were Corbyn’s constituents, and says he has no recollection of the MP ‘making any public comments’ about it.

    ‘This was despite the fact that a major child abuse scandal had taken place in his constituency,’ Panton comments.

    ‘I am aware that Mr Corbyn is an active campaigner for the protection of human rights of a range of people, including those who have never been his constituents.

    ‘I am not aware that he ever deployed his obvious zeal and effort to ensure that the human rights of his constituents who were abused while in the care of the London borough of Islington, were protected.’

    It was early 1993 by the time Corbyn met Eileen Fairweather, agreeing to see her in the Palace of Westminster to discuss the scandal.

    A veteran Left-winger, who had previously worked for the feminist magazine Spare Rib, she was anxious to reassure him that the Islington abuse claims were not, as Margaret Hodge had suggested, part of a Right-wing smear.

    ‘He took me to a cafeteria, and we sat in a quiet corner with our backs to a wall,’ she recalls. ‘I took him through the whole story and laid out the evidence, piece by piece.

    ‘He was perfectly nice. Very cordial. I really thought I was getting somewhere. He gave me the impression that he took the whole thing seriously and said he would go away and make inquiries.’

    Like Davies, Panton and so many others before them, she would also end up sorely disappointed.

    ‘That was the last I heard from him,’ she says. ‘He never wrote, never called and never said a thing about it in public. I rang him some time later and got short shrift.

    ‘My best guess is, frankly, and I feel sad to say this, is that he lacked strength and discernment. That he was too trusting, or fell for lies, or didn’t want to rock the boat and put people’s backs up. What I think he did, sadly, was to just hide.’

    There is, Fairweather now reflects, an old saying that applies to the Islington debacle — ‘that all it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing’.

    As Jeremy Corbyn mounts an audacious attempt to seize control of both his party and the country, at least one of the questions he must now surely answer is this: when whistle-blowers told him of the systematic abuse of vulnerable children in his constituency, what, in all honesty, did he actually do?

    London Borough Will Spend £16 Million On Paedophile Victims After Scotland Yard Protected The Perpetrators  [ 27 April 2021 ]
    QUOTE
    A council is to spend millions of pounds to compensate victims of a child sex abuse scandal that Scotland Yard refused to investigate. Islington Council in London expects to pay out £16 million to those abused by paedophiles in its care homes over almost three decades. As many as 2,000 victims could come forward..........

    Campaigners have welcomed the move but feel betrayed by the police, who, they say, allowed perverts to escape justice despite dozens of victims coming forward and a damning official report identifying suspects.

    They are particularly critical of Sue Akers, a retired Met Police deputy assistant commissioner in charge of child abuse investigations in Islington in 1995 when the report was published. 

    Documents submitted to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse show how she rejected calls for a police probe, saying it would be ‘counterproductive’. Ms Akers dismissed testimony from victims who came forward in the early 1990s and a report in 1995 by child protection expert Ian White, which named 26 men who should be banned from working with children. Campaigners from the Islington Survivors Network claim all 12 of the council’s children’s homes were infiltrated by paedophiles, pimps and pornographers.

    Last night, Ms Akers, 65, who was awarded a CBE in 2013, said she did not recall rejecting the council’s request for an investigation, but added: ‘Historic abuse investigations are problematic from an evidence and resources point of view.’

    Islington Council’s compensation scheme will pay £8,000 to anyone who suffered abuse while under its care.
    UNQUOTE
    Sue Akers understands office politics if she understands nothing else. She knows nothing about anything unless she wants to. It may well be that she had a career, not children. She might then have been a useful citizen. Is she, like the current Commissioner of Lesbos? Pass. Is that what it takes? A woman's gotta do what woman's gotta do? I wouldn't be surprised.

    The Mail is keeping quiet about Islington inmates. one of whom was  Blair, the well known property developer and War Criminal. Another was Hodge, a Jew on the make. Mark Trotter, the Paedophile Pervert who died of AIDS beat prosecution that way. One who was caught eventually was Peter Righton, a "child protection expert" and convicted child molester. In 2013, the Metropolitan Police launched Operation Cayacos to investigate claims that Righton was part of an establishment paedophile network. Righton was allowed to live on the estate of John Henniker-Major, the 8th Baron Henniker [ Trinity College, Cambridge, Rifle Brigade, with Fitzroy Maclean on Macmis, Special Operations Executive, married well - Osla Benning, very Establishment ]
