Tory Child Sex Abuse Claim: North Wales Inquiry John Jillings 'Cannot Remember' Allegations
"The government this week launched two new inquiries following claims by one of victims, Steve Messham, that he was was regularly taken to a hotel in Wrexham where he was sold for sexual abuse - including to a senior Conservative from the Thatcher era.
However Mr Jillings - whose report was never published on the insistence of the council's insurers - said he had no memory of hearing any such allegations from Mr Messham."

How many more cases of "selective amnesia" will suddenly come about during the course of these and other inquiries into the whole matter of child abuse in this country? It is all too often the case that witnesses giving evidence have failing memory on crucial matters. The Leveson inquiry, the Hillsborough investigation, and the Parliamentary Committee investigating the LIBOR fixing scandal, just to mention the latest examples, are littered with answers which seem to be deliberately evasive. Perhaps in some cases the response of "I do not recall" is genuine, but in the light of subsequent events and other available "evidence", it is not surprising that onlooker may consider the "evidence" being presented is nothing more than a continuation of the campaign to conceal the truth and cover up the extent of the scandal. I have argued in other articles that those involved in the abuse and those responsible for the on going cover up are rapidly running out of places to hide. It is inevitable that sooner or later, the truth will be revealed.
