David Cameron is right about witch hunts in wake of abuse scandals

David Cameron on ITV


Some time ago when Britain was again gripped in an uproar about paedophile rings, both real and imaginary, I was told the sort of yarn which prompted that bloke on day-time sofa TV yesterday to hand David Cameron a list of "top Tory" suspects at the heart of the British establishment. The PM responded by warning against witch hunts. He was right to do so.

The equally improbable story I had been told was that another high-flying Tory, in the running for the party's nomination at a forthcoming byelection, had stayed the weekend with the local constituency chairman (as they did in grander times) and interfered with his children. Oh yes, and he won the nomination too – ended up a senior minister.
