Does not seem so. At least he had an impressive list of clients as an osteopath. <br />Did he receive money from these girls who were not under-age, not retarded, not beaten into submission, not starving and not chained in his cellar?<br /><br />Probably, for whatever reason. Why this 50 years after - no, at any time - would interest a living soul enough to read a book about it is completely beyond me.<br /><br />The number of lives destroyed - in the same society that gave us the bathing-machine and crushed a number of its most brilliant minds for being gay - is likely to be so enormous that their stories could fill a library.<br /><br />Saying “the worst unrectified miscarriage of justice in modern British history” suggests that the author focuses on the trial itself, and not on elaborating on the narrow-minded society that can't see that its fixation on Sex-&-Celebrities is motivated by exactly the sexual drive and curiosity that is being frowned upon. <br /><br />I assume the mentioned book will give detailed descriptions of who the involved ladies had what kind of contact with. <br /><br />How fortunate that such matters also boosts sales. How unfortunate that these money will raise doubt about the motivation for choosing this topic among so many the world would benefit from knowing about.<br /><br />Is it a mystery if being an author of such stuff inversely will correlate with being well informed about (less important) events such as 270 people killed and their families still denied justice?SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-79618751599263272662013-12-02T13:49:44.132+00:002013-12-02T13:49:44.132+00:00Even if we accept the view that the Stephen Ward c...Even if we accept the view that the Stephen Ward conviction was a miscarriage of justice, exactly as claimed, it's not even in the same league as the Lockerbie debacle.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.com
