Lord Lexden (Alistaire Cooke - writer) goes on
Not a happy bunny is he ? And all power to him for supporting the dead ex- Prime Minister Edward Heath. You can read the official report of the debate here.

His Lordship is rightly pissed that a dead man's good name can be destroyed. He wants justice for Ted Heath.Welcome to my world Alistair ! I've been wanting Justice for Jimmy since his good name was destroyed within minutes of his death in October 2011.
At least Ted got an investigation, the boys at Scotland Yard decided from the outset that Jimmy didn't deserve one because he was guilty as far as they were concerned. Their feeble excuse for not bothering - it was pointless, he's dead but there's got to be others out there - still alive, so we can investigate them, should warrant some future comment in influential circles. As ever, we can wait, can't we guys and gals ?
1) Jimmy Savile is guilty because of the sheer number of complaints made against him. Two years ago Baroness Butler-Sloss said this
The Savile Police appended 214 crimes to Sir Jimmy Savile. How many of them were repeat offenders, how many showed up again in Conifer ? How many contradictions have I for one, found in the Savile claims, not to mention outright lies ?
Then there's the question of whether the dead should be investigated at all. Better late than never I guess
Anyway, that's all I'm saying for now on this. But, beings as it's Christmas, I thought I'd leave you something that made me smile, if not laugh out loud ! Here's one of the Lords in an earlier episode of peers calling out liars in Parliament !!! Enjoy
