Given the fact that 2 openly religious former Prime Ministers gave him character references during his trial, it's not much of a long bow to draw, that he has sympathetic ears in other High &lt;s&gt;Court&lt;/s&gt; places as well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if...&amp; I do mean if...he is actually innocent of the charges against him, he's certainly guilty as hell of aiding &amp; abetting others like him to do incredible damage to children's lives. And if indeed, only god can judge him, can we get him to appear before that ultimate judge as soon as possible please?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=waitingman&amp;ditemid=499236" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
