In the BBC Newsnight and Tory child abuse claims scandal, has the real victim, Steve Messham, been forgotten?

[G20 witness]

Oh dear...there's probably half a dozen on here - well, one for sure - who would want to put a bullet between your eyes right now.
But seriously - Lord McAlpine on the other hand doesn't have it in for Messham as such - but for the BBC, who were lackadaisical and eager to play 'red-top' games in order to 'get one up' on the other channels - in fact, he feels for the poor sod, and can understand how he was himself confused as the media wanted to 'speed right along here' and make Joe Public happy - and that includes insular gossips who were starting to get pee'd off at boring (and dead, bedamned) Uncle Jim - and who wanted m-o-r-e-n-a-m-e-s!!!
