Absolutely Al: How Al Gray Dealt With Mobsters, Mental Illness, Marital Woes and the KGB

Absolutely Al

---

Wood really loved Dr Death. There was another Nice Young Doctor who rolled up at the Student Health Centre in about as well, whom distressed students were urged to meet as an alternative to Gwynne the lobotomist — Dr Chris Tilsen. One of the boys in the house caught measles and his girlfriend rang the GP — Dr Tilsen.

They really were very often not that helpful. There seemed to be a push in the mids to conceal the damage being done by Dafydd and co. Liz was a friend of Dafydd. She was so unpleasant that I refused to have anything to do with her, so Liz was sent in my direction. I mentioned in a previous post that witnesses who gave evidence at the Waterhouse Inquiry, as well as those people who worked for the Inquiry, were granted immunity from prosecution, which I suspect is why those who ran the paedophile gang such as Lucille agreed to give evidence.

None of the witnesses can now be prosecuted for abusing those kids. Therefore, if Waterhouse and co had not constrained themselves, any number of people could have been referred for prosecution. The temporary immunity should not have stopped the North Wales Police investigating the evidence that emerged of abuse, of widespread conspiracy, of perverting the course of justice and of misconduct in public office. Documents in my possession also contain ample evidence of these matters.

I have been told that there were many complaints about Ceryl Wyn which were ignored and it is alleged that he had a family member on the Council who afforded him protection. I received information from someone who told me that standards at Cartrefle were appalling and that in the early s at least, Cartrefle had a hotline to Lucille Hughes and Nefyn Dodd and were passing on inappropriate info about students to them, with a view to identifying potential whistleblowers.

Cartfrefle qualifications were verified by the University of Salford. Salford University knew that there was serious abuse of children in care in north Wales, because one of their own students on placement reported it to them. It was a man called Stephen Shardlow. Shardlow had managed to get himself appointed as the editor of a major social work journal. I wonder how that happened. Salford was established as a University in Between , the Chancellor was Prince Philip.

So he flew the flag for Salford throughout those happy years when the institution provided qualifications for a paedophile gang and continued to do so even after one of their own students blew the whistle. In Sir Martin Harris was appointed Chancellor. What of the VCs of Salford, the people who had their hands on the tiller? Clifford Whitworth was the VC, So he must have been the fall guy. It would be difficult for even someone as dedicated to the science of cover-up and denial as Ronnie Waterhouse to airbrush John Horlock out of history, because John Horlock was responsible for a considerable piece of HE history.

Sir John Horlock was a mechanical engineer who built his reputation by refining gas turbines in jet engines for use in military aircraft. Everard was considered untouchable although she was not in a senior role — one lame attempt to discipline her was thwarted by the MSF rep David Hole. Who was corrupt himself, loathed Everard anyway but was involved in the misconduct along with everyone else and thus was obliged to defend her. It was a lorra lorra laffs, unless you were someone being targeted by this bunch who were concealing a paedophile gang.

Everard also had an inexplicable friendship with Prof Ian Craft, the Top Doc who ran the private clinic where practices considered even too unacceptable for the rest of the sharks in the IVF world were routine, such as the implantation of eight or nine embryos in the full knowledge that five or six of them would be aborted at a later stage in the pregnancy. Why Ian Craft, an elitist very rich man, gave Deb Everard the time of day I do not know, but it will have involved questionable practices of some sort.

By the s, there was a paedophile gang in the Derbyshire area with links to north Wales — the problems in Derbyshire were thought to have pre-dated the s. After he finished his PhD, Horlock stayed at Cambridge. He subsequently took a one year sabbatical at MIT and turned down a job offer from Rolls Royce in favour of the position in of Professor and Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Liverpool. At Liverpool, Horlock oversaw a major expansion of the mechanical engineering building. Could this have been where some of the missing millions went?

Horlock witnessed the success of his physicist colleagues in bagging funds from the SRC, so he suggested to a colleague that they should apply for a major grant themselves. The OU cannot thank Horlock enough for his contribution, because many believed that he stopped Keith Joseph, who was Education Secretary, , from closing the OU down.

Arnold Goodman was widely believed to be dishonest and he acted as the solicitor for Jeremy Thorpe immediately after Thorpe was charged with incitement and conspiracy to kill, before Sir David Napley took over. Jennie Lee know about the abuse of children in Staffordshire that was being concealed and she also knew that from the very inception of the NHS, Top Doctors assisted in concealing the abuse, neglect and sometimes deaths of the poorer and more vulnerable citizens. It was obviously fairly important that no-one pissed off Jennie Lee, who outlived her husband by many years.

The OU had support from some unlikely people. Thatcher was subsequently a fan of John Horlock. Horlock himself claimed that in the fight to save the OU in the mids, he reminded many Tory MPs that the number of students enrolled with the OU in their constituencies exceeded their majorities. Tam Dalyell wrote many of the obituaries of his generation of MPs. Keith Joseph was said to have given the OU a reprieve after receiving so many letters from people who had benefited from the OU. The OU provides training for a lot of health and social care staff, including social workers. The really great thing about the OU for local authorities who have a problem with the abuse of people in their care, is that if their trainee social workers do a degree with the OU rather than another university, that local authority does not have to deal with students who are whistleblowers, because the OU just provides theoretical input, it is entirely up to the local authority as to whether the students qualify or not.

There is no other party to negotiate with. Some years ago a whole series of social work students at Bangor University reported very serious problems on placement with Anglesey County Council. Whilst researching for this blog, I noticed that Harold Wilson systematically tied off all routes for professionals who might raise concerns about the abuse of vulnerable people by the state by the creation of supposedly citizen-friendly structures.

The long tentacles extended into the world of the arts as well, but I will return to that in a future post. Horlock was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in and then served as its Vice-President and Treasurer during his retirement. It could be a complete coincidence, but was the year that the Waterhouse Inquiry was announced and established. So Horlock advised on the safety of nuclear installations — a controversial and sensitive area. I grew up virtually on the doorstep of Hinkley Point and because I was used to it being there and I knew so many people who worked there, I took it as a fact of life.

I had heard, as a teenager, that various worrying things had gone on at Hinkley that the wider public were kept substantially in the dark about, but what was more well-known among the local teenagers was that some of the people at Hinkley Point were thieving on a grand scale — not just pilfering pens and stationery, but they were making off with just about anything, building materials, household necessities, there was even a trade in whole bathrooms that had been stolen from Hinkley.

It was a trough as deep as the NHS. The security out there was either very lax or the people driving off with the goodies had dirt of a valuable kind on the senior managers. After I left Somerset, one of the biggest accidents in UK nuclear power history happened at Hinkley — tons of radioactive CO2 was accidentally released into the atmosphere. Then there were the local leukaemia clusters that no-one ever got to the bottom of — they definitely existed, but people were strangely reluctant to undertake a rigorous analysis. It could theoretically have been an explanation, but, er, radiation-related causes might be a more obvious one.

The best Hinkley-related story occurred some years before the CO2 leak. When I was about 11, a local man caused a major outrage by breaking into the houses of three people in one night and violently raping the women in each house. The rapist then got a job at Hinkley Point. After a while, there were ructions. His schizophreniform symptoms of serially raping people had not popped up once more, but some new ones had. He had alleged that there were terrible things happening at Hinkley Point, that the safety of local people was at risk and that the trade unions and management were covering up very serious wrongdoing….

He spent longer in Tone Vale recovering from his Hinkley-related delusions than he did recovering from raping three women in one night. No wonder people were cheerfully driving out of Hinkley Point in the possession of thousands of quids worth of goodies without being stopped. The Lord President of the Council serves as the visitor for a number of universities, including the University of Wales. Ted Short was given a peerage in Why was there such a problem with child abuse in north Wales and mismanagement at UCNW which Shirl refused to investigate?

Look no further than Ted…. Lord Goodman for a start. ILEA was busy colluding with the export of kids in the care of London boroughs to north Wales where they were abused and trafficked back down to London. Peter Venables is yet another person who seems to have largely disappeared from the internet. I wonder why that might be. Venables will have known about the corruption linked to Dafydd et al in Liverpool University and he will also have known about the equally serious corruption in Birmingham University, the City Council and the West Midlands Police.

Lord John Fulton was a friend of Harold Wilson. Ted Heath went to Balliol, but was 14 years younger than Fulton. He remained there until Leo Abse was a good friend of George Thomas, who was molesting children. Abse himself has been the subject of historical child abuse investigations. And chumminess with Thatcher as well, but Thomas was forgiven that, it was just part of his natural charm.

Fulton went straight from the centre of a well-planned sex trafficking operation onto the Planning Committee for the OU. Fulton was Chairman of the British Council, and in , Wilson invited Fulton on the Committee of the Civil Service in , which reported in He was Chancellor of the OU, Callaghan gave him a peerage in Between , Briggs wrote a five-volume text on the history of broadcasting in the UK from — essentially, the history of the BBC, who commissioned the work.

In , Briggs was invited to be President of the Bronte Society. Briggs died at home in Lewes at the age of 94 on 15 March Asa Briggs had a terrible trauma whilst he was VC of Sussex. Old Asa was so traumatised that decades later he banged on about these three students in a radio interview. Even better, after the old bastard was dead his daughter popped up on Radio 4 discussing the dreadful behaviour of the three Sussex students decades previously.

She stated that Asa never got over it. One of those students was from north Wales and when I heard about the red paint episode, I rather hoped that the man concerned would drench a few of those we know and love in north Wales with red paint. The child abusing murdering bastards. Swinnerton-Dyer changed him mind quickly. Guess where else Swinnerton-Dyer aimed his axe?

They did survive — the VC who saw them through it was the VC who took over in , when Salford was busy giving respectability to Cartrefle College which was run for the benefit of the paedophile gang of north Wales. I shall be blogging about that VC in a future post. So Swinnerton-Dyer went after the three universities who were doing the most to facilitate Dafydd and the paedophiles — but he backed down and they survived…. There will be more background on other associates of Harold Wilson in future posts.

People are often very surprised at what is at the root of the Top Docs miracle cures. Not that it was a miracle cure, Barbara had enough and gave up. I know one thing though. Which was interesting, because I thought that Nicky was a bourgeois idiot and I only saw her on about two occasions. So what sort of front seat was she taking before I left my job then?

Which was not only extraordinary but was untrue. Who ever did it was obviously quite skilled, because the people whom they spoke to knew Brown and sincerely believed that it was him. I know who can do things like that — the security services can. They can record, splice, etc. Was the scene being set for my dead body to be found Nicky? Nicky Mitchell-Heggs originally trained as a psychiatrist.

Mitchell-Heggs was the occ health physician in an institution in which a great many staff were facilitating a pan-European paedophile ring and a Professor of Paediatrics had been imprisoned for his part in it. I heard earlier that the Home Secretary Sajid Javid has announced that the UK is to employ more security services agents. They presented more of a challenge to him and found out more about his crimes and who assisted them than the police force did and the security services were helping him anyway.

I named some of the politicians, lawyers, Prison Service staff and others who must have known what was happening. In this post I will provide details of a few on the ground in north Wales who not only knew but played key roles in the supply chain. Wing Commander Panton was so keen to help the victims of Dafydd and the paedophile gang that he employed them in casual low paid jobs every summer season. He joined in the work parties, he chatted to them and he knew exactly who remembered what and who was naming who.

Wing Commander Panton left north Wales years ago. Penrhyn Castle was given to the National Trust in , so it had been in their hands for decades by the time that Wing Commander Panton opened his arms to the victims of Dafydd et al. I received an e mail from someone the other day telling me that Lucille Hughes was working for the National Trust at Penrhyn Castle. I know of another victim of Dafydd and the paedophiles who volunteered at Plas Newydd. One of the many people to whom Alison Taylor wrote in the s regarding her concerns that there was widespread, serious abuse of children in care happening in north Wales was Prince Charles.

Morrison was abusing children in care in north Wales as well as at other locations. The Anglesey Conservative Association were very fond of Anne Widdecombe, begged her to be their Tory candidate and retained links with her although she jumped ship and tried her luck with another constituency.

Despite being given such an onerous responsibility, Doris was allowed substantial time off work — whilst still being paid — and was given the use of a member of London University admin staff to help her campaign for election. Noel Annan had a background in the security services — he had the distinction of joining Churchill in the bunker during WWII — and furthermore had been a member of the Cambridge Apostles when he was at university, along with Guy Burgess and Michael Straight, who were members of the Cambridge spy ring. Quirk was a linguist who worked with David Crystal.

Crystal grew up in Holyhead and Liverpool and now lives in Holyhead once more. It went under the name of Professor Andrew Radford. Radford was appointed in and when I arrived at UCNW in , a lot of people were already complaining bitterly about Radford. He was, essentially, a wally. He had disco lights and pictures of Debbie Harry in his office and joined students on pub crawls and crashed their parties.

So far so lame. But Radford was also shagging students on a grand scale. Better than that, after a few years, other staff noticed a strong correlation between the linguistics students who were getting Firsts and the students who had shagged Radford. Neither was the correlation based on speculation — I know one now retired lecturer from Bangor who said that Radford was so ruthlessly exploitative that he boasted of his encounters and supplied details to his colleagues. Radford did eventually depart from UCNW — under a huge cloud — but not until , when he returned to his old home of the University of Essex.

She asked for help at the Student Health Centre and was referred to Gwynne the lobotomist. Within two days she attempted suicide. She ended up in the North Wales Hospital. After the disaster with Gwynne, this student was referred to a nice young doctor who had just arrived in north Wales — Tony Francis. Francis did what he did in so many other cases — he did an excellent impersonation of a caring competent man, apologised to the student and her mum and assured them that Gwynne had been dealt with and that no other student would ever have this experience.

Gwynne remained in the Student Health Centre and some eighteen months later I encountered him… As did at least two students who attempted suicide within days of meeting him. Radford wrote to Tony Francis and told him that there was no reason why she should not continue on the linguistics course. Francis was the hero of the hour — or so it seemed — and told the student and her mother that he had sorted it with the university authorities for the student to transfer to a joint honours in Italian and Latin.

Which is what happened. The young woman then found it very difficult to access services at the Student Health Centre. I knew this student well and we remained in contact after graduation. She did graduate despite being refused healthcare and she then went to Manchester to do an MA. Her problems continued and she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She made a number of serious suicide attempts and after each one returned to the family home where she was cared for by her mum and her sisters, although she continued to live in Manchester. I met up with her last in about She had recently made a suicide attempt so serious that it was very nearly successful.

She had been prescribed huge quantities of anti-depressants which are lethal in overdose, after telling her Top Doctor that she felt suicidal. She took an overdose, was in a coma for three days and ended up with kidney damage. Her mum accompanied her to the psychiatrist after she recovered and expressed her concerns that if her daughter was prescribed the same toxic-in-overdose medication again, the next suicide attempt would work. The former UCNW student was prescribed the same medication again. She was taking that medication when I met up with her. She told me that the mental health services in Manchester were terrible, that she was simply being given repeat prescriptions with appointments at lengthy intervals and that it was nearly impossible to see a Top Doctor anyway.

She collapsed at an airport in the Far East whilst changing planes and other passengers assisted her. The Top Doctor had prescribed her a massive dose of haloperidol just before the flight, so it was entirely predictable that she would collapse on her way over to Australia. There was an elderly academic who died a few years ago who was involved with Bangor University — particularly fundraising — who when he was younger had been a Professor and I think a senior manager at Imperial College.

Which of course featured a character called Bottom. Green explores possible interpretations of alternative sexuality that he finds within the text of the play, in juxtaposition to the proscribed social mores of the culture at the time the play was written. David Crystal was influential in a campaign which resulted in the creation of the Ucheldre Centre at Holyhead. The Ucheldre Centre was formerly a convent and I suspect that it saw rather more meaningful action when the Sisters occupied the building, because some of them did some quite exciting things, as a result of the convent belonging to a French Order with links to the southern hemisphere.

It will really have been Jack as well — he was a very hands-on so to speak DG, he visited the regions regularly and he was also responsible for a big PR offensive for the NT. Sir Jack could not have done the jobs that he did throughout those years without working with the security services. Before he became an MP, Nick Boles was a member of the disgrace that was Westminster City Council, which did many unlawful and gerrymandering things when Shirley Porter the Tesco heiress was leader.

Shirley escaped justice for a very long time, but eventually she was fined a huge quantity of money. In Nick Boles was the founder of the think tank Policy Exchange and remained its Director until The 12th Earl — Geoffrey Waldegrave — had strong links to the west country. William was one of the Health Secretaries who colluded with the criminality of Dafydd and the paedophiles. The Chair of the Betsi Board Dr Peter Higson — who was a clinical psychologist at and then the manager of the North Wales Hospital Denbigh throughout the paedophile years and has spent his entire career concealing the crimes of Dafydd et al — is the brother of Dr Ruth Hussey, who was the Chief Medical Officer of Wales, April An angry meeting resulted at which Gibson gave everyone a bollocking and their objections were subsequently ignored.

As with so many others who assisted Dafydd and the paedophiles for so many decades, Lord Gibson and Sir Jack Boles did some very impressive things during their time with the forces and risked life and limb to escape from dangerous unpleasant situations. It really is very sad to think that they thought that Dafydd, Lucille and a gang of paedophiles were worth their time and effort protecting. If they were, they have been gathering info on Dafydd et al since the early s. The Lords is choc full of those who knew what Dafydd et al were doing but who concealed it. Whatever those spies were doing, it benefited Dafydd and Lucille, not their victims.

He was married to a member of the family who owned Pearson plc, a newspaper and publishing business. Patrick Gibson was Chairman of the Pearson Group, Gibson began working as a journo with the Pearson group in the late s and was soon an Editorial Director. Or was he given those positions because he was a stooge who could be relied upon not to blow the gaffe when he found out that those organisations were full of people who had concealed the wrongdoing of Dafydd et al?

Many of those who colluded with Dafydd and the gang occupied senior roles in organisations concerned with the arts and heritage. Again and again when I research them, they are involved with opera, with galleries, with theatre and with museums. The lucky few sit at the top of those organisations. Harold Wilson rivalled Tony Blair in that regard. There is much discussion of old favourites, such as Marcia Williams aka Lady Falkender throwing hissy fits and allegations that Wilson was working for the KGB.

No-one mentioned that his toadies were using the welfare state to run a paedophile ring who murdered witnesses, which was probably as much of a problem as his alleged chumminess with the KGB. Gaye ended up with a First and a number of lecturers openly remarked that she only received one because of the help that she had received from her pal Greig-Smith.

Gaye pushed the boat out to befriend the lecturers from the very beginning of the course, even the lecturers who were notoriously difficult and unfriendly. I was gobsmacked when in the first term I heard Gaye inviting Tony Jones to the opera. Gaye told him that he could stay over at her house and go straight into work the next day. Dr Tony Jones was the last person whom one would invite to the opera. He lived alone and had close relationships with some of the male undergrads which caused comment but never direct accusations.

Tony Jones was mates with some of the North Wales Police and for a laugh one day he got them to arrest a student whom he had fallen out with. The student was wrongfully arrested and banged up in the cells in Bangor Police Station overnight and released without charge the next day. Tony Jones would not blend in at Glyndebourne. Tony Jones was a racist old geologist from Bangor and before that he was at Aberystwyth University. One person who would have been finished if the scale of the crime in north Wales had been admitted at that time would have been Lord K.

Morgan, Principal of Aberystwyth University, the institution which was churning out crooked lawyers. He was married to the late Jane Morgan, a criminologist who grew up in Wrexham and later worked at Oxford. Sir Simon was on the Board of British Rail, Which is a bit odd, because Savile boasted about his Rolls Royce, which it was later revealed he used to tempt teenaged girls into who were then sexually assaulted and his caravan, which was parked in the grounds of Broadmoor and was the site of a number of rapes.

Sir Simon has a second home at Aberdyfi in north Wales and he pissed everyone off by writing an article maintaining that people do not have the right to live near their families or where they grew up. Aberdyfi is absolutely lovely and is one of those places in north Wales that is completely beyond the price range of most local people because it has become such a popular destination for people from England who want a second home.

There are allegations that Simon has a third home as well. Simon has campaigned against the building of affordable housing. Films in which Gayle starred included: Sir Simon and his mates were at the top of the food chain. Dodd used to boast that he was a friend of Dafydd — Dodd presumably thought that an association with Dafydd was worth boasting about. The Waterhouse Inquiry was told by ex-residents of the brutality and repeated assaults on children by Nefyn and June Dodd, as well as by Mari Roberts. Ronnie dismissed the allegations and constantly made excuses for these three thugs.

There were many complaints against Gadd of bullying and assault on children and I am told that none of them were properly investigated. In the event of a complaint from the patient, a counter-allegation of assault on an Angel would be made and the patient would be hauled off down to the police station — even if they were sectioned — to be charged. Male patients were on occasions tasered by the police who were called into the hospital. In the events of patients taking their complaints to Ministers, or other witnesses expressing concern, somehow a piece would appear in the local paper concerning the serious problem of Dangerous Psychiatric Patients and how many hundreds of assaults the Angels had sustained recently at their hands.

After I left Denbigh, on one occasion when I rang Bryn Golau Ward in an attempt to get some answers because none of my letters of complaint had received a response, an Angel answered and I could hear what was very clearly the baiting of a distressed patient in the background. The patient then started screaming in distress — I knew damn well what was going on and I challenged the Angel who had answered the phone.

I heard them say something in Welsh — which I did not understand — to the patient and then they gave the phone to the patient who of course screamed at me down the phone. The phone was then snatched away from the patient and slammed down on me. Had I been there in person, no doubt a situation would have been engineered in which I would have been thumped. Bryn Golau Ward, That was what was going on at ground level.

Gadd gave absolutely damning evidence against Taylor, maintaining that it was Alison that was the problem, not Nefyn Dodd. Gadd was promised the post of officer-in-charge at Cartref Bontnewydd in return for giving evidence against Alison. Mari Roberts never worked with Alison but she also gave evidence against her at the Gwynedd County Council disciplinary panel — in support of Dodd, maintaining that Alison should be dismissed.

Alison was dismissed in Nov There were numerous complaints against Mari Roberts as well as against Gadd and the Dodds. There were complaints before the North Wales Police investigation of The CPS did not respond until Jan By Nov I had made repeated complaints about the mental health services in north Wales about the most serious matters.

He had also told me that if I did drop my complaints, he would ensure that I would be given a place at Liverpool Medical School. He had contacted my solicitor and told him not to act for me and had tried to find out which patients I might name as witnesses to the wrongdoing. Brown had written to Gwynedd Health Authority stating that he had heard Dafydd trying to threaten and bribe me but received no response. As did the North Wales Police. There was no prosecution of Dodd. Both Hempsons and Andrew Park, the crooked lawyer who worked for the Welsh Office, wrote to Francis and others admitting that there was no evidence for any of these allegations.

The police investigation also resulted in numerous complaints against Mari, but no prosecutions resulted. Mari Roberts is discussed in the Waterhouse Report because witnesses described Mari in rather damning terms. Ronnie was told that Mari had slapped children across the face and around the head, that she had kicked them, dragged them by their hair, forced them to strip and taken away their clothes after they had run away following her previous assaults and that on one occasion she had tried to smother a boy.

Waterhouse observed that Mari was a caring woman who was dealing with some very difficult young people. As the crow flies, they must live very near to where Ioan Bowen Rees lived in his Plas. Since Ioan died, Mrs Bowen Rees has moved into the square in Rachub, but still in one of the best houses in the village. That would have been in the early s. Peter and Pat Gadd are no longer involved in child care, but they have a new source of revenue. The beatings and the buggery are extras. Fully fitted open plan kitchen with cooker. Lounge area with woodburner, TV, freeview box. Quiet rural area 2 miles from Bethesda.

Well behaved pets welcome. Lounge with TV, Freeview and internet access.

Set in a secluded, rural area 6 miles from the city of Bangor and 2 miles from the small town of Bethesda where there are pubs, supermarkets, takeaways, and of course the famous Zipwire at Penrhyn Quarry. Guests and their children have access to a small field with swings and a play area. The yard area is also suitable for BBQs and sitting in the evenings. Arrangements can be made to use a washing machine if needed.

We live across the yard in another converted barn. We are there if you need any help or directions but we will not intrude. We have 3 very friendly chocolate labradors who love a fuss but that is up to you. Our home is called Cysgod y Coed and the Barn is part of the basic budget accommodation with comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen for self-catering.

Mari Roberts is now known as Mari Roberts-Jones. Glyn Patagonia went down in history at Bangor because the university brought a disciplinary case against him for systematically marking up Welsh language students and marking down English language students. He was represented by a very grand lawyer as well as by the AUT and he was cleared. In the same village as Cartref Bontnewydd, where Mari Roberts playfully suffocated children and dragged them around by their hair. I am told that the standards at Cartrefle College were very, very poor.

Many of them date back to its time as Cartrefle College. It mystified a great many people.

Not just because when Mike Scott had done his PhD many moons ago at the University of Wales he had been ordered to rewrite and resubmit and there were people in the region who could remember this happening, but because a great many people maintained that Mike Scott was a completely unsuitable person to have been given that job. He was a key figure in a disastrous senior management team who screwed up so badly that the institution had to be raised from the ashes by the present VC, who seems to have done a very good job.

Then he turned up at NEWI, presided over events as extraordinary as he presided over at DMU and bugger me, someone then agreed to call his house of dysfunction a University. In view of the fact that Scott did his PhD at the University of Wales in the days when the paedophiles largely controlled the institution, I cannot help but wonder if Mike Scott played the same old north Wales game — I know what you all did and where the bodies are buried… Gissa job as VC.

Mike Scott took up his appointment at DMU in He had previously worked at Sunderland Poly. There was a paedophile gang located in the Sunderland area with links to Dafydd et al…. Mike Scott stood down from Glyndwr University in The University of Salford validated degrees from Cartrefle College. The University of Salford knew that children in care were being abused in north Wales because the Waterhouse Report discusses a student on placement from the University of Salford who was so horrified by what he saw in north Wales that he reported it to the University.

As a result he was withdrawn from his placement after a matter of days. This student followed all appropriate guidelines after he witnessed child abuse. It was in the early s when my correspondent told me that they had witnessed appalling standards and when staff at Cartrefle College had a hotline to Lucille and Dodd.

Barbara Kahan was one of the people to whom Alison Taylor wrote regarding her concerns about child abuse in north Wales. Alison did not receive a reply. They underplayed the seriousness of the abuse and for how long people had ignored it. Brown and I wrote to Keith Joseph, when we were undergrads, about student finance. The old bastard probably had us targeted then. Previous Secretaries of State for the DES who were responsible for Cartrefle as qualifications were handed out to sex offenders were: Someone ought to seize Compton Verney under the proceeds of crime legislation.

Prentice was a barrel of laughs, he left the Labour Party in and in was elected as a Tory MP. Thatcher made him Minister for the Disabled! Prentice died in , but in the last few years before his death he was President of the Devizes Conservative Association. She was so busy withdrawing the free school milk from primary school kids that she took her eye off a gang of paedophiles giving out certificates in social work to other members of the gang.

That takes us as far back as There was a paedophile ring in Dyfed at the time which had links to Dafydd et al. An Orthodox priest — yes, north Wales has one — called Father Deiniol who lived in Blaenau Ffestiniog used to have boys from Y Gwyngyll staying over at his house for the weekend. Alison Taylor stored up yet more trouble for herself when she raised concerns regarding the arrangement between Father Deiniol and the children from Y Gwyngyll.

Her concerns were silenced. Nefyn Dodd, David Bailey the officer-in-charge of Y Gwyngyll and Gethin Evans all maintained that Father Deiniol was the best thing since sliced bread and that he was providing welcome opportunities for disadvantaged kids to have a weekend break.

The first time that I saw him I was an undergrad and in a Chinese takeaway in Bangor. I was quite surprised when an Orthodox priest came in and ordered some food. I used to see him around Upper Bangor the part of Bangor where the University arts depts are and the residential quarter where students and in those days many University staff used to live in the company of a variety of people.

Upper Bangor was host to a selection of characters in those days. I had the feeling that it might involve Brother Dai. They drove a Porsche, which was unique for alternative people hanging out in Upper Bangor. The restaurant was very small, the prices were reasonable and the customers were mostly students.

They did chat to the students and customers, but their goodwill was a bit forced. They sold up and left Bangor in about and told me that they were buying a pub and restaurant in Devon. So Father Deiniol used to be seen around Bangor amongst this crowd. I was manning a stall at the postgrad fair and who rolled up but Father Deiniol.

Father Deiniol has a heavy internet presence. Paedophile ring you say? Pixel Foundry was dissolved in but used a number of addresses at Machynlleth as well as one at Abersytwyth Arts Centre. Peter Telfer used an address in Ceinws for a long time. Ceinws hit the media for all the wrong reasons in , when five yr old April Jones from Machynlleth was murdered by Mark Bridger, who lived at Ceinws, having moved there from Birmingham.

Blaenau hosted Ceryl Wyn Davies, who I am told still lives there. Ceryl Wyn Davies was the Headmaster of Tanygrisiau School a primary school near Blaenau who in , whilst Bowen Rees was Chief Exec of Gwynedd County Council, was jailed for 18 months at Mold Crown Court after pleading guilty to three charges of indecent assault on girls under thirteen. Ceryl Wyn was 47 yrs old at the time of his imprisonment and had been Headmaster of Tanygrisiau School for seven years.

Ceryl Wyn had previous. In , after being convicted at Holyhead Magistrates Court for indecently assaulting schoolgirls whilst being employed as a teacher, Ceryl Wyn was sentenced to nine months in prison. If the spent conviction is relevant to the job for which the offender is applying, the potential employer is required to take the spent conviction into account. Ceryl Wyn was a child sex offender who had applied for a job as a Headmaster of a primary school. He was already in the employ of Gwynedd County Council as a teacher and was promoted to Headmaster of Tanygrisiau — shortly after he had appeared before Blaenau Ffestiniog Magistrates in for, er, indecently assaulting school children.

Ceryl Wyn was acquitted. Emlyn was a pretty big hitter to bring in for an appearance in Blaenau Ffestiniog Magistrates Court. Emlyn Hooson was a close mate of Ronnie Waterhouse.

It was the year in which Hooson successfully defended Ceryl Wyn for indecent assault that Jeremy Thorpe was charged with conspiracy and incitement to murder Norman. The year after Ceryl Wyn was acquitted, so was Thorpe. Bowen Rees made the point that after his conviction and prison sentence, Ceryl Wyn was reinstated as a teacher by the Dept of Education in That was when Thatch was Education Secretary and whilst Cartrefle College was busy distributing qualifications to members of a paedophile gang.

A great many of whom ended up working for Ioan Bowen Rees. Because Ioan grew up in north Wales and for years worked as a solicitor for the old Denbighshire County Council. Ioan — and his parents — were well-known locally and in Ioan stood as the Plaid candidate for Conwy. He has been a member of a number of local choirs, including Cor Meibion y Moelwyn, of which he was the leader. He is a keen Eistedfoddwr and is a member of the Gorsedd of the Bards.

I am told that he still preaches locally. I am not suggesting that Ceryl Wyn should have been cast into the outer darkness after his conviction. But they did know that a very close eye should have been kept on him where children were concerned. Many people will have been well aware of that and may have had great reservations about Ceryl Wyn turning up as the local primary school Headmaster. What I have a problem with is the shit that was flung at Alison Taylor, Mary Wynch, me and many others, because we did not have the same mates as Ceryl Wyn, yet we had not serially molested children over decades.

Which was about about the time when the threats and aggro towards me from Dr D. It was mentioned that Ceryl Wyn had indecently assaulted pupils as he marked their work…. Unlike Ceryl Wyn, I, along with others, were hounded out of jobs and nearly ended up in prison — indeed some people did go to prison — without having committed any offences at all.

One of the barristers and judges who led the field in such prosecutions was the fat fool Huw Daniel. There is a great deal of sense in that conclusion. When was that demonstrated then? There is however a great deal of evidence that suggests that sexual predators target people whom they think may have been victims of sexual assault previously. The disciplinary panel would not have needed to have forced traumatised children to give evidence again.

It was publicly available. What the panel should not have done was given Ceryl Wyn a job as a Headmaster shortly after the kids had given evidence, thus giving him unsupervised access to primary school children. Perhaps even the siblings and friends of the kids who had given the evidence….

I suspect that the kids of Blaenau Ffestiniog were fully aware of Ceryl Wyn, kids tend to be quite sharp with regard to adults who have a penchant to Fiddle About. A few other stars were and no doubt still are based in Blaenau, along with Father Deiniol and Ceryl Wyn. In July Gwilym Euros Roberts was jailed for four and a half years after attacking his estranged wife Catrin with two knives. Catrin had been living in fear of Roberts and had dialled when she heard someone breaking in, assuming that it was him.

Catrin fought Roberts off, sustaining a broken nose and serious defence wounds to her hands and arms. Catrin stated that Roberts had attempted to murder her. Roberts made a full admission to the police. At the time that Gwilym Roberts knifed Catrin, he was on police bail following a brawl in March at the Oakeley Arms at Maentwrog — near to Blaenau — during which it was alleged that Roberts assaulted Catrin and another man, after he found them in a bedroom at the Oakeley Arms. Several complaints had been made to the police regarding Roberts breaching his bail conditions before he stabbed Catrin and a few days prior to attacking her, Roberts had been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

At the time of the attack on Catrin, much was made of broken-hearted Gwilym committing a crime of passion after the slapper Catrin was found with another man. There was no comment regarding why Catrin might have sought comfort in the arms of someone else. His conviction and imprisonment caused a by-election.

Roberts stood trial in July Some reports stated that it was at Mold Crown Court, but others said Caernarfon. He was charged with unlawfully and maliciously wounding or causing grievous bodily harm with intent, rather than attempted murder. Lord Alex Carlile was based at the same Chambers. John Wyn Williams was one of the barristers from whom I sought a legal opinion regarding a possible negligence case against the NHS in about I do not know who the character reference was. Readers might need reminding that Lord David Hunt, who spent so many years concealing the crimes of Dafydd et al, is a Bristol University alumnus.

About This Item

It was about five years before she even spoke to me and that was after I had left the village. Somebody has told me that years ago I and other young women were filmed a la Psycho without our knowledge and the footage flogged and circulated. I can only presume that the scene of the crime was at dear old Denbigh. It was suggested that I should be in the throes of some sort of Me Too trauma. At least I am still alive. I am far more interested in sociology and history and writing this blog and naming the people who were involved in this foulness, many of whom are still popping up in the media or in Parliament to give us the benefit of their wisdom.

An American feminist who is busy in the UK yelled at the interviewer that the only way of stopping male sexual violence was by making prostitution illegal. No-one gave a stuff but Jane and Val did bang on about being strong wimmin and chwarae teg at length. After Catrin nearly left for the next world, I remember noting the unique combination of a broken heart, a passion for the community, a record of outstanding public service and a near brutal slaying that was to be found within Gwilym, because I remembered Gwilym from some years previously.

Gwilym had been a leading light in a group which was established in Wales in about called Cymuned, in response to the perceived crisis in rural Wales. Some of my friends were involved in Cymuned and invited me along, so I went to some meetings. The English press were keen to portray Cymuned as a cottage-burning Nazi-style anti-English group — someone cheerily asked me why I was hanging out with the Welsh Nazis — but there were people in Cymuned who were definitely not of that ilk. I met some very genuine people who were nothing but welcoming to me and who were tearing their hair out over what was happening in rural Wales.

But then the usual phenomenon emerged. The nutters and the in-fighting. I knew one member of Cymuned who was forced out of her job at Coleg Menai as a teacher of Welsh to English speakers by a Plaid Councillor on the grounds that Cymuned might damage Plaid at the polls. This teacher was so enthusiastic that in her spare time she and a group of her friends had offered free Welsh lessons to anyone who was interested.

Which is surely the sort of Welsh teacher that one needs. The Mirror had a go at Seimon Glyn because he had been making public speeches about the cost of housing in rural Gwynedd — which was a very real problem. The Cymuned battles took place just before and just after the publication of the Waterhouse Report.

They got cross because Seimon spoke Welsh and was raising concerns about the dire state of the economy in north west Wales. I remember seeing Gwilym Roberts at Cymuned meetings. He reminded me rather of Martin Webster of the National Front in the mids. Then some other people in Blaenau told me that Gwilym was not a nice man and had been doing some very unacceptable things for a long time but was well-protected by his mates.

Gwilym was mates with another Llais Councillor from Blaenau, Dafydd Williams, a man known locally as Black Dafydd, which always upset newly arrived English people because they immediately presumed it to be a racist insult. Black Dafydd is Welsh, but grew up in the Methodist orphanage in Bontnewydd — he was the only black person around and he ended up being called Black Dafydd by his mates and people close to him. One thing that really did irritate him was being called a Taffy when he went to train as an Angel in the north of England.

Black Dafydd worked as a mental health nurse in north Wales. He had also previously been a police officer, in Wales and elsewhere. I have never discussed the North Wales Child Abuse Scandal with Black Dafydd, but he must have known what another Dafydd who was white was doing, he absolutely must have. Can you explain your response Hefin? Particularly as you had also received a letter from Brown — which was ignored and which your lapdog Ian Rickard claimed not to have received — telling you that he had heard Dafydd trying to bribe and threaten me into dropping my complaint against him?

The voice of Gwynedd??? MIND is run by Dafydd and the paedophiles and has been for years. According to the people who had been accused of racism, it was the result of a load of absolute bastards who had recently moved into Blaenau and colonised the MIND centre there. Someone sold Manchester City Council that job lot of houses and someone — indeed quite a lot of people — will have known that a penal colony of Mancunians was to be established in Blaenau. Gwynedd County Councillors will have been among those who knew that this was going to happen. The North Wales Police will have known.

The regional NHS will have known. The regional Social Services will have known. When did you find out that it was going to happen? Who flogged — and indeed advertised — that housing to Manchester City Council? I think we should be told. I mentioned that there was an English speaking contingent in Blaenau involved with radical causes.

I later found out that some of them at least ended up living in the area because the presence of Bertrand Russell nearby made it a bit of a Mecca for people interested in radical causes. Dafydd was always ready with a place in a nursing home for an awkward relative or a bed in a detox unit or an Army pension. The problem was so bad that five nurses had walked out and word had got around and now no nurses would come to the house. The secretary screamed with laughter, sounded as though she had nearly fallen off her chair and then put the phone down.

The police surgeons were undoubtedly colluding with Dafydd and the paedophiles. Shah, who, after what must have been the only honest social worker in Gwynedd refused to section me just because Dafydd told her to do so, told Sgt Morgan of Bangor Police Station to unlawfully keep me in the cells whilst Shah rang around and found a social worker that would do what they were told. On another occasion on which Dafydd and the paedophiles had me arrested, another police surgeon turned up.

Yet no-one let me go. Why, he did not explain. Wood was one of the police surgeons. So of course police surgeons were colluding with Dafydd and the paedophiles, Wood was one of them. Corrupt Top Doctors working in that domain would certainly be able to cause havoc for patients in custody. On one occasion, in Caernarfon Police Station in about , a police surgeon was called — after the mental health services had once again had me arrested on the basis of the perjury of their own staff — who seemed incredibly nice.

He talked to me at length, stated his opinion frankly that the Hergest Unit was so unsafe that patients should not be there. The other service which was fully on board with the sex trafficking ring in north Wales was the Ambulance Service. I have mentioned before that the abducted always arrived at Denbigh under cover of darkness, in the middle of the night.

His life of bounty haunted by on-going nightmares about the mysterious disappearance of his beloved father.
