They seek him (or her) here...

So first it was Baroness Butler-Sloss who was hounded out as the head of the inquiry into "historical child sex abuse" and now her replacement Fiona Woolf has gone the same way.  Is this, as many would have it, a Home Office shambles, or is it rather more that those representing the purported victims are so insistent that there has been an organised cover-up that nobody with any sort of connection to the "establishment" - past or present - will satisfy them?  In which case, it will be difficult to come up with anyone of sufficient status and dignity such as will be necessary to give the eventual report credence who will not be seen as an establishment figure, or who will not have had some contact with someone which might be considered as calling into question their impartiality.  So good luck with that!
