/// The now dog-eared 1982 magazine, which I have unearthed in archives, was the quarterly journal of the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL), the well-known lobby group which is now called Liberty. ///

/// Known as a radical campaigning organisation, the NCCL was that year being run by three tub-thumping young Left-wingers who would rise to extremely senior positions in the Labour Party. ///

unlikely. this has been rumbling on since 2009 (and probably earlier) and so far, those being accused appear to be entirely blame free - or incredibly fire-proof.

The connection is rather flimsy. People reading a letter in a newspaper, magazine or even a forum such as this know that the views expressed are those of the contributor and do not reflect those of the editor or newspaper.
So, in debating a recent case, a magazine printed a letter discussing paedaphilia. The letter is critical of the stance of the organisation and a recent magazine article and threatens to cancel their subscription. That rather undermines the charge that they were supporting that cause. Magazines print letters to open a debate and create interest. That is what this is.

/// In 1976, for example, Hewitt’s organisation lobbied Parliament for the age of sexual consent to be lowered to ten (if the child consented and ‘understood the nature of the act’), and, I have discovered, for incest to be legalised. ///

/// With Harman as its legal officer, the NCCL in 1978 also attempted to water down child porn laws. ///

/// A string of motions were passed at NCCL annual general meetings supporting the ‘human rights’ of paedophiles. The organisation’s staff also provided PIE activists with endless legal support in their battles with police and the Press. ///

All sounds just a little more serious that just one letter in a left-wing magazine.


Sounds quite dodgy.

God only knows what was going on in the UK in the 70s. Saville, Glitter and Stuart Hall on one side, and PIE on the other.

All seem on the same side, don't you think?
There has been a reference to PIE and it's link to NCCL since 2007 and I remember it getting wide coverage in the late 70's when there was a movement to drop the age of consent
Sorry meant to say a link on Wikipedia
