Sir Edward Heath: Four UK police forces investigating child sex abuse claims involving former PM

Updated about 2 hours ago

Four separate police forces are now known to be looking into allegations of child sexual abuse involving former British prime minister Sir Edward Heath.

Fresh allegations have emerged about the now deceased Sir Edward, with a number of people already responding to police appeals for information.

Police on the Channel Island of Jersey have confirmed the former prime minister features in its ongoing investigation into allegations.

Sir Edward, who died in 2005, is also believed to be in the scope of Operation Midland, the sweeping probe into historical paedophile allegations involving establishment figures.

While Scotland Yard did not confirm the investigation was underway, the senior Labour MP Tom Watson said he knew of claims put before the police.

“Since 2012 I’ve referred two allegations regarding Edward Heath to the police,” he said.

“But it’s already clear to me, the historic cases, different police services have dealt with investigations differently.

“That’s why we need a national police inquiry, not just at regional level.”

Kent Police allegedly received a fresh report of sexual assault committed in the 60s where the victim has pointed to the former prime minister.

But it is the inquiry launched by Wiltshire Police that kicked it off.

A British journalist is one of those who has made further extraordinary claims against Sir Edward.

Journalist Don Hale said 30 years ago he was handed a dossier on an alleged Westminster paedophile ring, and shortly after his office was raided by police.

Mr Hale said among the allegations against Sir Edward concerned the whereabouts of boys from care homes who went yachting with the politician.

“He was basically recruiting boys from Jersey to go on adventure sailing trips with him at weekends on his boat Morning Cloud and there was all sorts of allegations against him in terms of what may have happened to these boys taken from care homes in Jersey,” he said.

“There were claims that some of these boys didn’t come back.”

Sir Edward’s colleagues in shock

Colleagues of Sir Edward reacted with shock to the emerging allegations.

Robert Vaudry, his private secretary from the late 80s, said he was staggered by the claims.

“We ran his life like a military campaign. We knew what he was doing every minute of every day through that four-year period,” he said.

“So to think there was things going on that we weren’t aware of, yeah, [I am] very surprised, shocked — incredulous really.”

Brian Binley, a former conservative MP who worked for some time in Sir Edward’s private office, said the former PM was still innocent till proven otherwise.

“Ted Heath was never even questioned about these allegations. And people say there’s no smoke without fire. Well, there is sometimes smoke without fire, as we all know,” he said.

Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who has long campaigned for police to look into historical paedophilia crimes, said a “much stronger picture” was due to appear.

“If these allegations are as serious as is being suggested, then other victims and also former police officers will come forward and share what they know,” he said.

“So, I think they will be build a much stronger picture.

“The culture’s changed, allowing people to come forward and share their knowledge.”

Sir Edward is now the highest-ranking politician to be linked to claims of historical sexual abuse crimes against children.

Mr Hale said among the allegations against Sir Edward concerned the whereabouts of boys from care homes who went yachting with the politician.

“He was basically recruiting boys from Jersey to go on adventure sailing trips with him at weekends on his boat Morning Cloud and there was all sorts of allegations against him in terms of what may have happened to these boys taken from care homes in Jersey,” he said.

“There were claims that some of these boys didn’t come back.”

The Haute de la Gaurene

Greville Janner, Tony Blair, Madeleine McCann, Margaret Hodge and the VIP child-abuse connection

By thecolemanexperience March 22, 2014

In December 2013, the Indpendent reported on the police search of Greville Janner’s home:

” Police investigating allegations of historic child abuse linked to children’s homes in Leicestershire have searched the home of the Labour peer Greville Janner. Lord Janner’s legal team confirmed on Friday that he was assisting police with their inquiries after officers reportedly spent several days searching his home in Golders Green, north London.

The 85-year-old, who served as an MP in Leicester for 27 years, has not been arrested and police did not indicate what was taken away from the flat. The father-of-three was accused of child abuse in a court case in 1991 but was not prosecuted and was given all-party support in the House of Commons when he described his ordeal and said there was “not a shred of truth” in the claims against him.”

On his 51st birthday, Paul Boateng, another Labour Peer, was serenaded in the House of Commons by Michael Jackson, who was on a visit to the UK, organised by Uri Geller and Greville Janner.

In the 80’s a child-abuse scandal swept the London Borough of Lambeth, where thousands of children were subjected to horrific abuse in council-run care homes. The abuse was carried out with the full complicity of Lambeth social services and the police.

By strange coincidence, the head of social services throughout this period was none other than Janet Boateng, the wife of Paul Boateng.

Quite why she has never been investigated for any wrongdoing is a complete and utter mystery.

It’s a little know fact that Cliff Richard is close pals with the Blairs:

” It’s comforting to find that beloved Christian singer Cliff Richard has friends in high places.

He kindly lent his villa in Barbados to close chum Tony Blair. Cliff was so concerned that Tony was looking ‘haggard’ after starting the Iraq war that he took it upon himself to do a good deed.

Tony’s wife Cherie Blair QC is also close to Cliff. She loves nothing better than to attend award ceremonies with Cliff and let the world know what a great guy he is.

They’ve even been joined by another pal, TV personality Melvyn Bragg. Some voices have alleged that Cliff and Melvyn share a rather repulsive hobby that the average person would find sickening.

Other voices have alleged that Cliff is linked to notorious boy-brothel Elm Guest House and used the pseudonym, Kitty.

Yet others claim that Cliff is a person of interest to Operation Fernbridge officers and may be linked to the murder of Jill Dando, who knew all about the paedophile ring at the BBC.

Some have questioned why Cliff recently renounced his British citizenship and is now a fully-fledged Barbadian.”

Cliff once went on a fact-finding mission with child-rapist Jimmy Savile and Lord Longford:

” One of Myra Hindley’s most famous supporters was Lord Longford, who spent years lobbying for her release. Lord Longford went on a fact-finding mission in the ’70′s to investigate pornography. He took along Jimmy Savile and Cliff Richard.

Jill Dando knew all about the BBC paedo-ring run by Savile and told her close chum Cliff. She was soon shot dead on her doorstep as a warning to others to keep their mouths shut.

Longford was the uncle of Harriet Harman MP, who has recently been embroiled in the recent PIE paedophile scandal.

Harman is in turn a cousin of Prime Minister David Cameron, who is in turn a cousin of the Queen.

Another high-profile Hindley campaigner was wealthy journo, David Astor who spent 20 years corresponding with her and was close to Longford:

” Longford and Astor had known each other since Oxford. Their paths had often crossed in the beaten ways of liberal postwar Britain, and they shared an interest in prison reform. Astor was agnostic, verging on atheist, Longford  a devout Roman Catholic. Both were fascinated by the idea of redemption.”

By a strange coincidence, David Astor was the step-uncle of Samantha Cameron.”

In a bizarre twist, Cliff also owns a home in Portugal, not far from where Madeleine McCann disappeared in 2007.

Gerry and Kate McCann were immediately given high-level support from the UK government and were assigned the help of Clarence Mitchell to act as their spokesperson.

Mitchell was one of the first reporters at the scene of Jill Dando’s murder in Fulham and no doubt works for the UK Intelligence Services.

The McCann family are themselves from Leicester and Gerry has many friends in high places in the area.

Another visitor to the Warner holiday complex in Praia de Luz at the time of Maddie’s disappearance was Philip Edmond Hodge, the nephew of Margaret Hodge (yet another Labour peer).

Margaret Hodge has been implicated in the Islington care home scandal where again thousands of children were abused in council-run care homes.

Despite this scandal leading to the tragic death of Jason Swift, Hodge was never investigated and was instead, quite unbelievably, given the job of Children’s Minster, by Tony Blair.

In 1994, Frank Beck died in Whitemoor prison whilst serving a staggering 5 life sentences for alleged child abuse. Frank Beck had been implicated in the abuse of boys in Leicestershire care homes.

Frank Beck had always maintained his innocence and claimed he was imprisoned because he’d exposed alleged abuse by a high-profile politician. Frank Beck was appealing against his conviction and sentence. Leave to appeal and legal aid were granted in January 1993 and Anthony Scrivener QC, one of Britain’s most eminent lawyers and former chairman of the Bar, agreed to take the case.

Frank Beck’s solicitor said at the time of his death ‘He was very impatient for the appeal to go ahead. His death came out of the blue. Normally the case would lapse and die with him but his family and close friends are discussing the possibility of carrying on with the appeal. This would not be unprecedented.’

Beck was convinced there was enough new evidence and material that was not put before the original court due to non-disclosure by the prosecution which would have made the original conviction unsafe and proved his innocence.’

In 2011 the following anonymous comments were left on a blog which was discussing his death:

“ In 1991, after accusing Janner of paedophilic behaviour with a teenager, Frank Beck was arrested and charged with the sexual and physical abuse of children in his care over a thirteen-year period. At his trial Beck stated that: –

“One child has been buggered and abused for two solid years by Greville Janner“.

Immediately after this, Janner who just happens to be, ironically, a long time member of the boy scouts association, and Sir David Napley, his solicitor, went to Police headquarters in Leicester.

Whereupon, the following statement was issued: “We have advised Mr. Janner that he is prevented from making any statement at this stage”. Shortly afterwards, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Alan Green, let it be known that “for lack of evidence”, Janner would not be prosecuted, even though Paul Winston, who was just thirteen when he and Janner first met, was able to describe Janner‘s home, the hotel rooms they had shared, and Janner’s habits and person in detail.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, himself, was arrested for kerb-crawling in Kings Cross a little while later. Green had come to the attention of the police previously for this same misdemeanour and was quietly given a formal warning. The scandal prompted his resignation from public office and the suicide of his wife.

In court, Paul Winston, who was, at the time of Beck’s trial, a married man with children, stood up for him, as did several other witnesses, paying credit to his achievements and behaviour and confirming his anti-Janner testimony. He said Beck had counselled him over his relationship with the MP, and had brought the affair to an end. He also stated that he had had a beneficial effect on his life. According to Winston’s evidence, he was invited to Janner’s home near Golders Green, whilst Janner‘s wife was away, and this led to his sharing Janner’s bed where they “cuddled and fondled each other”.

Thereafter Winston testified that, over the next two years, he was regularly sodomised by Janner. Beck discovered what had been going on after Winston was put into his care, at which point, he informed his superiors at Leicester Social Services. At one point, Janner visited the care home with a new bicycle for Paul but Beck denied him entry and would not allow the gift to be passed on. This was confirmed by another witness at the trial.

Nevertheless, Beck was found guilty and sentenced to twenty-four years in prison, with five life sentences to run concurrently for his “crimes”.

Janner was never brought to court, nor was he ever called upon to testify. Frank Beck died suddenly of a “heart attack”, shortly before his appeal was due to begin. He was, by all accounts, a fit man at the time of his death. He never stopped protesting his innocence and Janner’s guilt. His two main solicitors, who admitted to being sceptical in the first instance, believed him at the time that he was found guilty.

One of these solicitors has since been killed in a road accident, and the other has been subjected to police harassment on a major scale.

Frank Beck was a resident of Braunstone in Leicester when the events described above were taking place. When Janner was ennobled in 1997, he took the title, Lord Janner of Braunstone.

The man responsible for ennobling Greville Janner was Tony Blair.

The following very interesting comments were left : ” I was in the courtroom when beck gave his evidence in full :his death by food poisoning in custody was very convenient for all those he said he had supplied the boys to in the local area .”

” Blair had a macabre sense of humour as Braunstone is the area Frank Beck used to live in. Beck was guilty. But he almost nailed Greville Janner.”

In 2010, the Tory peer and Times editor, Danny Finkelstein, posted the following tweet:

” Watching Greville Janner in 1970 election prog. Attractive, incisive, intelligent, moderate. How did he not end up one of Lab’s leaders?”

How very, very strange indeed.

The clock is ticking on Britain’s dirty secrets.

It’s only a matter of time…
