Line of Duty, the six series journey of AC 12 to bring bent coppers and other conspirators to justice ended last week. Some were disappointed at the ending. Many like myself considered it realism and felt no dissatisfaction at all. Whatever one’s position one thing that became apparent as series six progressed was that the writer Jed Mercurio appeared to be making a point or three.
The messages I and others received were that this was not just about a fictitious series of interconnected events. This was a reflection of the darkness of reality. It is difficult in this day and age to say anything without being threatened with a civil action by very rich and powerful people. No matter what the the truth is if they don’t want it out and about they slap and slap hard.
We know that child sex abuse has been at the heart of the darkness of the UK state for a long time. We know that once it became preceived with utter disgust and revulsion that those who were guilty attempted everything possible to keep it hidden.
This admission from 1985 has never been acted upon by the Conservative party, at least not in public, and must be seen as a smoking gun.
Line of Duty I believe attempted to draw our attention to it and in our series Ten By Six we have sought to help Jed Mercurio give it some publicity.
As can be seen above it not just child sexual exploitation that has been an issue. One of the most prominent and symbolic murders of the last half century, that of Stephen Lawrence, was also corrupted by police officers in cahoots with organised crime. If we believe it is no longer going on we may possibly need sectioning.
Let us know in the comments below your considerations of child sexual exploitation by prominent and not so prominent people and what we can do to bring them to justice and find solutions to protect vulnerable people.
