I'd have him in the midfield any day of the week http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/malky.gif
Has he apologised or has he just said sorry for any offence caused - which is not the same.
Why didnt he just go to the Police with the 'evidence' he had - rather than announce it ?
Have I got the right start here? Is this where tom Watson is accusing others of being paedophiles by association, specifically Leon Brittan?
His brother has now demanded an apology from both the police and Mr Watson.Watson apology was somewhat half heartedQuote:

If Watson is looking to lay blame by association he would do well to check his own family tree first before throwing wild accusations around. After all he does come from a family whose members have been convicted of paedophilia. The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
What a stupid thing to say.Quote:

While we are talking about politicians sticking their neck out to help people less fortunate let us give an honourable mention to Margaret Thatcher. Her tireless work to make sure Jimmy Savile's efforts as premier showbiz paedophile be recognised with a knighthood were truly admirable.Quote:

I agree. That's why tom Watson's claim that Brittan is guilty by association is so absurd. I'm glad you agree Watson is way off the mark here. Remember this is a potential future chancellor.Quote:

Watson was approached by people who claimed to be Lord Brittans victims, he wrote to the DPP to ask them to re-examine a case against him that had been previously closed. TW behaviour since has been distasteful.Quote:

Watson is completely out of order
But as this is clearly a poli5ically motivated thread, hence the reference to the labour party I would like to remind the obvious few of Thatcher's association with the murderer Pinochet
She knew what he was up to yet continued to associate with him
Don't be daft , you are a Tory , of course politics come into it with you , it always does , check out your post historyQuote:

where does it end though? Blair associated with the warmongering Bush. Each PM will make decisions at that time based on what they think is the nation's best interests based on the information to hand. As I've said to Eric Cartman, Hindsight is an exact science.Quote:

This is my exact problem with the whole thing. Watson should be criticised for his conduct since but NOT for writing to the DPP and asking them to reopen the case. He is being criticised for both things by people who are using hindsight.Quote:

Exactly where does it end - I seem to remember Tony Blair hugging and kissing Gadafi in a tent , and Corbyn and CO praising the IRA.
Trying to lump this together with child abusers is absurd in the extreme.
Watson was and still is hiding behind the veil of 'I was just passing info on' whilst at the same letting it be known in public what he had done - 'all in the public interest of course'
He should have just left the Police to get on with it. He will say in his defence that maybe the Police were involved as well.
It's a complete mess - stirred up even more by Watson. McAlpine certainly saw an early death because of this.
It's appears now with hindsight that Watson was the self appointed Witch Hunter and that even the Guardian are questioning his integrity - when they do that to a Labour heavy weight like Watson - he should realise somethings up.
Watson "Brittan was close to evil" , straneg he shoudl say that when Watsons own uncle scoutmaster Peter Halliwell was jailed for child abuse against boys. I dont recall Watson ever saying that he himself was also close to evil http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/sherlock.gif
What does the bit in bold mean?Quote:

Hang on - using Watson's logic of being close to evil
Gerry Adams Brother was a convicted sex offender, Corbyn is Watson's boss and Watson's uncle is also a convicted sex offender - therefore Watson must also be guilty on some sort of sex crime using his own perverse logic
Labour scum etc etc etc - of course on here it is usually 'tory scum'
