Why would tin potters protect nobodies they've never met?

If former policemen are to be believed a full blown investigation into child abuse by Cyril Smith and others was stopped dead on the orders of a senior policeman.
The police officers on the case were ordered to hand over all evidence and never speak about it, citing the official secrets act.
At one stage smith was arrested and spirited out of a police station like some untouchable communist commissar.
The speculation is that he could have brought other powerful people down with him hence the protection.
But just who can wield this kind of power in our country, this so called democracy that we all (most of us) thought that we lived in.

Great question.
Perhaps it's founded on the system of privilege ? Honours and peerages used as rewards without checks and balances?
Or simply a version of absolute power corrupting absolutely, regardless of the system?
Eh? How did you deduce that? How does the fact that you are a tiresome bore have any bearing on my feelings towards the covering up of child abuse?Glad you think institutionalised covering-up of child abuse is boring......
Can you explain who are the tin potters and who are the nobodies? Can you explain how the one protected the other please?Why do you think tin potters would go out of their way, to protect nobodies that they have probably never met?
I completely agree. However, I thought it relevant in view of the fact that this story broke after the racist deniers tried to blame Muslims for being the only people responsible for organised paedophilia.You're the bore - bringing Islam back onto GD.
Who ever said or implied that? Post the link if you can.However, I thought it relevant in view of the fact that this story broke after the racist deniers tried to blame Muslims for being the only people responsible for organised paedophilia.

Perhaps the Asians see it a softer touch than say Thailand knowing that everyone is getting away with child abuse in the UK?Fair do's, anyone who thought there was no organised child abuse before the Asians started doing it wholesale was obviously wrong on that point.
As said that does nothing to exonerate the said Asians, just highlights the fact that we have enough home grown problems to deal with without importing more from other cultures.
I wouldn't mind betting that half the special branch at the time had a vested interest in making sure it got deeply buried.But just who can wield this kind of power in our country, this so called democracy that we all (most of us) thought that we lived in.
