Abuse claim ex-MP walks off BBC show
FORMER Tory MP Harvey Proctor stormed off the BBC Breakfast show yesterday in an interview on the botched police handling of sex abuse claims.
Mr Proctor, 72 – falsely accused by fantasist Carl Beech – complained host Naga Munchetty had not let him express his views.
During a feisty exchange, he suddenly removed his earpiece, telling her: “I’m not having this… you must not invite people on and not allow them to speak.”
JAILED
Beech, 51, was jailed for 18 years for making false allegations of a Westminster paedophile ring.
Mr Proctor had been demanding Met Commissioner Cressida Dick face questions over the case on the programme.
He said: “I lost my job, my home and my repute as a result of a fantasist who was believed by the Metropolitan Police.”
A probe by former High Court judge Sir Richard Henriques said police obtained warrants to search innocent suspects “unlawfully”.
