Convicted paedophile, police superintendent and freemason Gordon Anglesea is dead.
in 1994, Anglesea was famously awarded £375,000 in libel damages against four media organisations who presciently linked Anglesea to allegations of child abuse by suggesting he had been a regular visitor to the infamous Bryn Estyn children’s home in North Wales.
But the libel judge – Sir Maurice Drake – gave a monstrously biased summing up in favour of Anglesea, in which he said:
“Experience in the courts shows that where men and women, boys and girls make complaints of sexual assault they do sometimes make up stories, either completely or exaggerate some incident out of all proportion so that it no longer bears any relationship to the truth.
“And of course a complaint that someone has sexually assaulted you is comparatively easy to make up and difficult to rebut. It is the nature of a sexual complaint that no one else is likely to have seen it.”
It turned out – unsurprisingly – that Justice Drake was, like Anglesea, a freemason.
Which is probably why the Provincial Grand Chapter of Hertfordshire has deleted all references to him being a member:
Until recently, the Chapter even had a page eulogising Drake as one of their leading members:
The page has been deleted – although an archived version can still be seen, at least for the time being.
Perhaps there should be an investigation made into connections between VIP child abuse and the freemasons.
If investigators could be found who were guaranteed to be free of connections to the Freemasons themselves that is.
A tall order in the UK.

I’m not a Freemason myself but many members of my family (brother, father, grandfathers among others) are and have been hard working and committed Freemasons, dedicated to the work the Freemasons do to provide help and assistance to the less fortunate in the world.
To use this incident to lambast Freemasons and Freemasonery is a disgrace.
Why not lambast all people with surnames of Anglesea or Drake, all police officers or even all Judges.
I am not saying that all Freemaons are paragons of virtue any more than all teachers, nurses, insurance clerks, bank tellers etc are completely without fault.

Don’t judge a Whole Fraternity by a few bad people. We kick out the bad apples. God Bless. Dan Ross

More likely is that he was expelled because no felon can remain a member. This precept is found universally in every Grand Lodge Masonic Code. Indeed how nefarious to purge pedophiles from ones membership! Ridiculous click bait.
[Oops – that’s a bit embarrassing for you Jimmy. Read the blogpost again. It’s the JUDGE who awarded him the libel damages they have deleted from the website – not the felon] – TOM

Whether he’s guilty or not came to be the issue at hand. Throughout history man has published non fiction written by a liar. And since every lie is first published, we will rely on the architect to bring forth the absolute truth. And this will happen while we are going on with our own lives

Religious cult

Initiation ritual multiple death threats, willingly entered into
So
No mason should ever be allowed into public office
Especially judiciary
Those who don’t declare membership = malfeasance offense = up to life in prison

Of course, in an ideal world, one would not judge an organisation by a few “bad apples.” However, one has to take into account the culture of the organisation, which might collude with bad behaviour because the chap is “one of us.” Additionally, freemasonry is a secret society which makes collusion an effortless process.
