Total farce. Waste of tens of thousands of police hours. Cost of millions of pounds. Farcical allegations made against top politicians and military. Innocent people named and shamed.

All based on the testimony of "Nick", apparently a known manic depressive?

Why is he not being named properly and prosecuted for wasting police time and/or why are the senior police officers...right up to the Met Chief Sir Nobhead Hogan-Howe still in post?

on the road to nowhere in particular

Allegations have to be investigated and corroborated, difficult to do with crimes of this nature.

In this case I think there is no cover up;

Someone tried to invent stuff off the back of the Saville debacle: due to the fever pitch about that, the police were so twitchy that they thought they had to investigate it;

The dreadful thing is that it was handled so badly.

They should have done more homework first.

Just because someone is a known manic depressive doesn't mean they shouldn't be taken seriously.

Stephen Fry id a known manic depressive. Should any complaint or allegation he makes be ignored because of his mental health?!

Naming and shaming and even prosecuting someone who thought they're was a truth in something would deter others from doing it and who knows, next time something could be missed. Then no doubt you will post airhead asking why something wasn't investigated sooner.

Because that is not in any way how the system works?

Just because they didn't find enough evidence to proceed with prosecutions, it doesn't automatically mean the source was lying.

The biggest problem is in the naming (and shaming) of what turned out to be innocent people.

One of the allegations that the police "believed automatically" (their words) involved Ted Heath allegedly raping and then getting rid of (murdering?) a young boy in the seventies on a very specific date.

A date on which he was in France, negotiating the conditions for our entry into the common market. Instantly provable...but yet included in the "evidence".

Go into the detail and clearly a total farce if a case.

Agree with you, OP. The minute the allegations came out about Ted Heath allegedly raping and murdering children and throwing them off his boat in Jersey I had to pinch myself that these allegations were being taken seriously. Defies belief, in every sense

This is exactly the reason that suspects should not be named until after a successful prosecution.

Agree with you entirely op.

This has been handled extremely badly and whilst we must all agree that allegations must be investigated, this should have been concluded promptly given that there was no evidence whatsoever.

A couple here have said no smoke without fire. The point is there wasn't even smoke. Just a total fantasist. This according to the evidence of his ("Nick") own brother who has called for him to be jailed.

This was a bunch of (homophobic) police officers hoping to chase a big name prosecution to further their own careers.

£3million (apparently) wasted police money....they will be telling us they are underfunded next!

"No smoke without fire" is equivalent to suggesting that anyone prosecuted for or suspected of an offence is guilty.
