A former MP has accused police of a "homosexual witch hunt" over claims he was involved in child abuse and murder.
Harvey Proctor said "false" claims had "wrecked" his life.
Speaking a day after being interviewed by police for a second time, he said he was "completely innocent" and called for senior police officers to resign.
He was interviewed under caution as part of Operation Midland, an inquiry into claims powerful men abused children in the 1970s and 1980s.
"I'm a homosexual. I'm not a murderer or a paedophile," said Mr Proctor.

I say "scon(e)" because otherwise my favourite joke doesn't work.
"What's the fastest cake in the world?"
"SCONE" (its gone)

Isn't the Stone of Scone pronounced even differently, like SCOON?

The reason I say (s)cone is because that is what my parents called it. If someone says (s)con I know what it means and think nothing of it.

Surf, the beauty of the con vs cone debate is that you will find both sides of the divide making exactly the same claims against each other. It cannot be resolved. The big-endians versus the little-endians all over again. Locked in mortal strife. Bitterly giving no quarter.

Strangely enough, honest sons of the soil and dour-handed factory workers are as one with the aristocracy on this one. It rhymes with cone. It's only the bourgeoisie and the effete wannabee middle classes that go the rhymes with con route.

The complainant does not give a hint as to how (s)he pronounces 'scone'.
I will wait for this information before I decide if I am amised or not.

Letter of complaint to Emirates about the reduced size of their scones:
Over the years, I've been a fairly regular traveller on EK009 (DXB-LGW), sometimes in Economy, sometimes in Business. A particular highlight in Economy is the afternoon tea, with its own piece de resistance, the scone with jam and cream. But I was appalled on Wednesday to find that the scone has been horrifically downsized. It can no longer rightfully be described as a scone (while that dreadful chocolate cake remains stubbornly undiminished). A micro-scone, perhaps, but by no stretch of the imagination is it a proper scone in the traditional understanding of the word. Are you aware that the diameters of both the jam and the cream are now larger than the diameter of the scone? I'm sorry, Emirates, but you've let your otherwise very high standards slip terribly. I mentioned this to two of the cabin crew (Julia and Miriam, from memory). They reacted superbly and with utter professionalism and generosity, but not before other people seated nearby had overheard the discussion and added their own grumbles about the size of the scone. Do you realise that this could have created a ripple effect, even a riot, on board? A situation in which such ripples could have affected the aircraft's balance, thus risking its safety, is entirely within the bounds of probability. And all because of an outrageous decision to reduce the size of the scone. I request you to deal appropriately with the smartarse who came up with the idea of depriving all afternoon tea lovers of their rightful ration of scone. I also commend to you, in the highest possible terms, the good humour and outstanding service of those two cabin crew who heroically averted what could have been a major disaster. They should be the two first laureates of the Emirates Order of the Scone, which I am confident you will now see fit to introduce. BRING BACK THE FULL-SIZED SCONE NOW!

Nothing was brushed under the carpet. In fact, this particular arpet had millions of pounds of public money wasted in searched for dirt under it after it had long been known there was none.
If Watson is allowed to get away with this, it gives free rein to any MP to settle a score by means of public denunciation of their enemies from the floor of the house.
I think your party loyalties are over-riding your capacity for rational thought.

'In many ways, I'd rather we had people doing what Watson did than what used to happen with brushing under the carpet.'
You'd rather have MPs abuse parliamentary privilege to make incredible accusations of paedophilia against political opponents than what? The whole point is that nothing was 'brushed under the carpet in this case'.

Ok.
Do you pronounce 'scone' to rhyme with 'cone' or 'con'?
