A very British witch-hunt - Part 2
Manage episode 284650342 series 2815135
Painfully thin and wasted after weeks in an intensive care unit, former Home Secretary Lord Brittan had just weeks to live when Detective Superintendent Kenny McDonald said that his team had spoken to the victim of a supposed VIP child abuse ring - and that the outrageous lies of paedophile Carl Beech were ‘credible and true’. Award-winning crime writer Stephen Wright talks to his widow, Lady Brittan, on how Labour politician Tom Watson became a ‘crusader’ for delusional alleged child sex abuse victims - and the BBC amplified the lies of the false accusers.
