PAUL ROUTLEDGE Testing times for fiery union boss

OBODY in the management of Rotherham Council or South Yorkshire Police is to face criminal charges as a result of major investigations into top-level incompetence during the child sex abuse scandal.

Sound familiar? The faceless bureaucrats will get away with it yet again.

Thousands of people have now signed a petition calling for a criminal investigation into the way 1,400 victims were let down by the authorities over a 15-year period.

Some of the managers responsible for this scandal refused to give evidence to the inquiries or suffered “surprising lapses of memory” when interviewed.

Put them in the dock and make them answer under oath. That’s the only way to get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
