Default Leon Brittan dies

Just seen that Leon Brittan has died of cancer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30938755

Not the first time he's been in the news lately, what with being the talk of the town as it were for his connection with the paedophilia report in Westminster. Wonder if the media will now unleash the dogs of war with no legal repercussions? Of course there are many here that wont believe it whatever the media says. Interesting times...

By the time that gets a full investigation everyone implicated will be dead.

where has he been "publicly named"

apart from in that article

Edit - I see there seems to be stories in the Express Mail mirror now - actually linking him to abuse rather than the cover up

tThey have obviously delayed the enquiry until key people are dead, i think if we ever find out the extent of the cover up then the uproar will make the MP expenses scandal seem like a storm in a tea cup.

i bet the big three political parties are scared that UKIP and greens would clean up at the elections if people found out the truth this side of the election

well if you want to vote anti-establishment and dont want to vote UKIP the only option is greens which possibly explains why they have grown in size so much recently

I think this is a pretty good analysis, the current discontent with the mainstream parties will see both UKIP and Greens gain vote share (whether that is translated into seats is another matter)
