Perhaps the world's conspiracy theorists have been right all along... (On some of the issues)
We used to laugh at conspiracy theorists, but from Fifa to banking scandals
and the Iraq War, it seems they might have been on to something after all,

This one seems like a
particularly dark and grisly thriller. At first it was just a few
rubbish light entertainers. Then it was a lot more entertainers. Then we
had people muttering about the political establishment – and others
counter-muttering don’t be ridiculous, that’s a conspiracy theory. But
it wasn’t. Now,
it’s a slow-motion train crash
and an endless series of glacial government inquiries. The conspiracy
theorists point out that a lot of real stuff only seems to come out
after the alleged perpetrators are dead or so senile it no longer
matters.
It’s hard to disagree with them. It’s also hard to imagine what
kind of person would be so in thrall to power that they’d cover up
child abuse.
