Conservative MP Frances Maude is the guardian of transparency in David Cameron's Conservative Party. Aside from the fact that the Conservative Cabinet falsified meeting minutes to hide its internal dealings with the political charity Common Purpose, there seems to be a darker shadow lurking behind the Conservative Party's transparency, especially when it comes to child abuse. Let's get to the dark heart of the British government.On 21 June 2015, the Sunday Mail published an exclusive interview with the National Crime Agency on its front page and a two-page supplement.

“This wasn't supposed to happen.” says the BBC's Nick Robinson. This election was not supposed to happen like this. This is characterized by a lack of confidence in political leaders, rooted in an overwhelming lack of trust felt by most voters. Why else would Prime Minister David Cameron promise to pass legislation to block tax increases that are not mentioned in his manifesto but which he has long vowed not to raise? Why else would Ed Miliband resort to “carving in stone” promises that are so broad and general that it is almost impossible to determine whether they have ever…
