Another memory blackened but justifiably so

I suppose Tim Farron, leader of the Liberal Democrats, is glad that the party vetoed his window-dressing idea to rename the Lib Dems as the Liberals (as they used to be before their merger with the Labour-breakaway Social Democrats).  To have one paedophile in your former ranks when called the Liberals is disastrous, two is complete blacklisting.
Yet another star of light entertainment, the former Liberal MP, Clement Freud, has escaped justice by dying before allegations were accepted.  Gary Glitter, Stuart Hall and Rolf Harris did not and were sent to prison like aged Nazis but Jimmy Savile got away.  Politicians like Labour's Lord Janner and Labour defector Liberal MP Cyril Smith also perished before they could be sent down for serial padeophilia.  It's tragic for the victims to have suffered such abuse to make one's own sadness irrelevant by comparison.  But all the fond memories of Freud and (also Hall) must now be banished to a zone of condemnation in the mind where it is unacceptable to enjoy.  All support must be offered the surviving victims
