Back in January last year, I attended a meeting at the House of Commons for the White Flowers campaign, which lobbies for justice for victims of historic ‘organised sexual abuse’.

It was an experience I can only describe as bizarre, at best.

Because apart from calls for ‘heads on spikes’, no one at the meeting seemed to know what it was they wanted to achieve.
