I realise, because they have told me, that people want me to say something about Greville Janner.
For years, I was lauded in corners of Twitter and the blogosphere for pointing out Harriet Harman's and Patricia Hewitt's links to the Paedophile Information Exchange, long before the Daily Mail needed to distract attention from Patrick Rock. The entire media always knew.
Just as they always knew that Margaret Thatcher was surrounded by pederasts, the abolition of the age of consent having always been a key aim of a Radical Right that, on this as on drugs, practised what it preached.
But as soon as he mentioned any of that, which had been depicted as long ago as Our Friends in the North and the middle part of the original House of Cards trilogy, then Tom Watson slipped from conquering hero of the likes of Coffee House and Guido Fawkes, to an object of their unmitigated abuse.
Likewise, everyone always knew about this very rich and extremely right-wing second generation Labour MP and second generation Labour Peer. He passed on to Hewitt the Commons seat that he had inherited when his father had been sent to the Lords. Funny, that.
You have been the lone voice on all of this for ever.
