Tory pin-up boy of yesteryear faces pedo charges...

[sandyRoe]

Once he was feted by Thatcher and her cronies and now he stands in the dock with others accused of abusing children.
Will his old friends from the Conservative Party rally round?

Pin-up boy? I don't remember that, sandy, but each to his own.

[craft1948]

What have these charges got to do with the Conservative party?

[sandyRoe]

Didn't Mrs T have a signed picture of him in the Cabinet room at number 10?

Who is it? I can't get the link to work.

nice name selim shah, that seemed to have escaped someone's notice.

[sandyRoe]

Eddie Shah. He was the hammer of the unions during Thatcher's time.

[netibiza]

Exactly craft, there are paedophiles in every walk of life!

[sandyRoe]

I didn't like to say, Em. But funny he missed that.

[emmie]

no he wasn't as a matter of fact, but i am not going to go into why i know.

[tonyav]

Was he the one who started that newspaper, i think it was called ''Today '' ?

[emmie]

yes and i knew a lot of the print people at the time, he wasn't anyone's pin up boy, nor hatchet man.

[Psybbo]

Yes

[tonyav]

Thanks, I thought that name rang a bell.
