Award-winning author claims MP in Tony Blair's government was part of paedophile ring

Mr Wheatle rebuilt his life, became a celebrated
author and received an MBE in 2008
An MP in Tony Blair's government was part of a paedophile ring which infiltrated a council children's home where an award winning author was abused in care, it was claimed today.

Alex Wheatle, 51, said he was attacked at Shirley Oaks in Surrey, which took youngsters from Lambeth in south London.

After moving there as a three-year-old, a doctor abused him during an appointment where he was forced to strip naked, while he said that a swimming instructor, a football coach and even staff groped and even raped boys and girls.

Mr Wheatle was also beaten with hair brushes, belts and boots, because 'suffering violence was as much a part of my day as eating toast', he said.

The father-of-three said that the abuse was covered up when a Labour MP was named as being an alleged member of a network of child abusers targeting the borough.

Mr Wheatle, who was attacked at Shirley Oaks near Croydon in the 1980s, where the politician also visited regularly in the same period.

The author, handed an MBE five years ago by the Queen, said paedophiles also targeted the South Vale centre in Lambeth, where children were assessed before being sent to Shirley Oaks.  (more...)
