So, 7 months and 2 failed Heads later, this enquiry finally gets off the ground. It appears to have sharper teeth this time, as it will now have statutory powers..

Mrs May said Justice Goddard was "as removed as possible from the organisations and institutions that might become the focus of the inquiry".

Well, its difficult to think of anywhere farther away from Britain than New Zealand, so perhaps its 3rd time lucky !

About bloody time, let's just hope that ALL will be roped in.
Be patient, Mikey. ;o)
Hope so whiskeryron - but today I heard on R4 the father of a girl involved in the original crimes. He said that he was walking across the road from a taxi rank (in Rotherham) and the drivers were out of their cars laughing and joking with young girls and offering them ciggies (he was positive that none of them was over 14). There were 2 'special' police nearby and he asked them what they were going to do about it. They turned their backs and walked away. Well that's what he said.

On OP, the appointee sounds to be a very good choice.

Naomi...May has made a complete Horlicks of this whole affair. Can you blame me for being just a tad impatient after 7 wasted months and 2 dud Enquiry Heads ?

jourdain2......I think you may be conflating two entirely different news items here. This has nothing to do with the Rotherham case, as this Enquiry will be investigating historic child abuse.

But I can fully understand your confusion, as the Media and the Courts are stuffed full of the activities of paedophiles at present. Easy to get them mixed up.
Oops, sorry! :)x
I agree

I think May ( our next prime minister apparently ) was slow to realise the demands of the victims needed to be taken into account - and that therefore Theresa May didn't Know Best

The mandarin compiling the list of the Great and Good that the govt can call onto to Whitewash whatever should have realised the first two were soiled goods ( in the sense of not up to the job )

Bulter SLoss for example pioneered secret fambly courts which excluded one side ( the side that didn't know the action was being held ) and so by definition 50% didn't like what she had done. The other 50% liked it An Awful Lot as the defence was disabled
There is a separate thread for Rotherham Jourdain

There is a lot of it about - Rochdale is another one which is simmering away. Oz has one for example

PP...May's chances of measuring up for new curtains in Number Ten anytime soon have been dealt a near-fatal blow by this fiasco, so I think Boris has now got an even better chance !
Amazing. Can't believe what I have just read. Boris is a Tory and someone has lost their rose tinted spectacles and seen the light at last. Capitulation. May be something about Jim Murphy's statement in the news regarding Scottish Labour. "Were all doomed"
