“I was just 17 when I first went to a conference in Brighton in 1978. I couldn’t believe I was rubbing shoulders with all these important people and I couldn’t believe that they were taking such a keen interest in me. I would have done anything for them because I was so desperate to make it in politics.
During the years I was attending conferences between 1978 and 1985, I was a full-time political activist. At the same time I was running for office in district and county council elections…
Dr Smith, who I looked up to at the time and was the most important Tory in Scotland, told me to go and fetch some ‘entertainment’, which was code for young boys and handed me a handful of bank notes. There was about £120…It was a norm and an open secret that these older members of the Tory party, like Dr Alistair Smith, paid for young men to join them at sex parties… There was a well known and used cruising area close to the Imperial Hotel, which was a conference hotel. The hotel was not open to the public.
I was expected to find the youngest and prettiest boys. It was what those men wanted. In fact it was all they wanted. So myself and another Tory candidate walked down there and sat on some benches underneath an archway in the Pavilion area of Blackpool and waited…
I asked him (‘a guy aged about 20’ called James) if he wanted to come back to the hotel and he said ‘yes’. We asked if he had any mates and he went away and came back with two boys who were aged about 15 and no older… We took them straight upstairs and into a room where Dr Smith and other MPs were waiting for them at the party. They were given drinks and cocaine to snort and then they were all moved into the centre of the room…
All MPs, members of the National Executive and chosen delegates were given name badges that allowed you access to the conference hotel. Some of them had a small Oscar (in honour of Oscar Wilde) sign in the corner which was a code to allow others to know you were allowed into these secret parties…
In 1981 I was invited back to the Imperial Hotel by a Conservative councillor. He was a big player in the… Monday Club… I was led through a tiled changing room where there were piles of clothes strewn across the floor. We then walked into an area where there was a large pool and lots of men either stood around naked or simply wrapped in towels…
There were a couple of glass tables set up as a mini bar with bottles of spirits on them and there was cocaine on several tables. I saw several boys who were clearly aged between 15 and 16 down there and I saw that a few were performing sex acts on MPs…
Among the MPs I recognised in there were Keith Joseph and Rhodes Boyson. I saw the Attorney General Michael Havers down there as well…There were several men walking from one room to another and enjoying sex acts with other naked men, including boys who were clearly only about 15 or 16 years old. I saw Keith Joseph there and a politician who is now still a serving MP. It was held on the night before the bomb went off and afterwards one MP crudely joked that it was a good job it was, or there would have been rent boys falling through the floor.
I was a teenager when I first met these men and they manipulated me and groomed me to do their bidding. Because they were the most powerful men in the land, I was led to believe it was all OK…
It is time this came to light before anyone else is abused. They didn’t think they were doing anything wrong and it was the norm then. They felt untouchable.”
“I outlined exactly what I had witnessed and informed her I intended to expose it... I believed she had to know...
I made it very clear to Mrs Thatcher most trusted ministers had been at these parties with boys who were between 15 and 16. I also told her of the amount of illegal drugs like cocaine that were consumed.
I underlined the names of Keith Joseph, Rhodes Boyson and one MP still serving today. I also said I had seen Michael Havers at a party in Blackpool held at the hotel pool in 1983...
I have no idea why William Hague was chosen to deal with my allegations. He introduced a high ranking civil servant who was also there. Then the civil servant turned to me and said, ‘Now what is this all about?’ I felt very uncomfortable and surrounded, so I loudly told them, ‘What this is about is the way I’m being treated’.
The civil servant told me ‘I’ve been made aware of your letter and the very serious allegations in there. Can you substantiate any of the claims?’ I told him I was flagging up things I had seen. He then said ‘Why you are writing to the Prime Minister about these matters is beyond me’.
I was asked if there was any evidence and I told him it would emerge in time. The civil servant then said ‘What you’ve said is extremely libellous and slanderous. This meeting is finished’.
Mr Hague hardly said anything. I was ushered out and that was that. I was angry. I thought I’d hit a brick wall and there seemed no other place to go.”
"A source close to Mr Hague yesterday said the Foreign Secretary (Hague has since been demoted and is now the Leader of the House) 'has no recollection of ever meeting this individual'... (Hague can be seen with Gilberthorpe here)
Last night the civil servant, who we are not naming, did not reply to requests for a comment. Meanwhile speculation is growing over claims Mrs Thatcher must have been aware of rumours about ministers and under-age boys.
Her former Parliamentary Private Secretary Sir Peter Morrison has already been named in connection with a probe into the Bryn Estyn children’s home in Wrexham where Jimmy Savile allegedly molested boys.Mrs Thatcher lobbied for Savile to be given a knighthood and he visited her at Chequers on at least 11 occasions."
In other words, he was the top lawman in the land at the time the events described above were happening.
He was also in position when Geoffrey Dickens passed the files on elite paedophilia to Home Secretary, Leon Brittan.
Don't think you can just walk away!
