Rejected petition Hold a Public Enquiry into the possibility of a Westminster VIP paedophile ring
Police have dropped the investigation into claims of a VIP paedophile ring in Westminster.
This has hints of a cover-up and a white wash
A public enquiry must be opened to dertermine the full truth of the claims and any perpetrators brought to justice
More details
The Metropolitan Police probe, called Operation Midland, was launched in November 2014 after claims that boys were sexually abused by a number of public figures more than 30 years ago.
It cost £1.8 million up to November 2015 and did not lead to a single arrest
These boys deserve justice
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The UK Government has already set up the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, which is examining whether public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales. You can find out more about its work here:
It will examine allegations of child sexual abuse involving well known people, including people in the media, politics, and other aspects of public life.
If you would like the UK Government to take additional action on this, you could start a new petition calling for the specific action you want to see.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
