Why I fear this monstrous sex abuse cover-up is FAR worse than we know … by Simon Danczuk, the MP who first exposed the Cyril Smith scandal
‘Countless times I’ve heard the sentence now, and it’s usually followed by an exasperated sigh. ‘Yes, we knew all about Cyril.’
Former Lancashire police officers, Greater Manchester police officers and Metropolitan police officers all knew.
Thames Valley detectives knew. Special Branch knew. Even former prime minister Margaret Thatcher had been warned.
Everyone except the public seemed to be aware that the former Liberal MP for Rochdale and ‘national treasure’ Cyril Smith was a child abuser. But no one, apparently, was able to do anything to stop him.
When, in April last year, I first started to speak about the police’s certain knowledge of Smith’s serial offending after publishing my book on his double life as a child abuser, I was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist.’
