Suspicions are developing about the roles these men have played in skewing the news. Firstly regarding the Bryn Estyn saga these two were ‘massaging’ the story in a certain direction. ‘When Messham was on Twitter telling the world how down he was and threatening to top himself, another Tweeter phoned an ambulance on his behalf. I have spoken to this Tweeter as she contacted me three days ago as she was extremely uneasy about what had happened to her. Within fifteen minutes of speaking to Messham she received a call from Iain Overton, who grilled her for over an hour with all types of personal questions.’
They were responsible for cranking up the Newsnight Program in November 2012 about a very senior political figure who was a paedophile and subsequently got a handsome payout from BBC. This trick has been pulled before by a Lord Boothby who extracted £40000 from the press on false pretences. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100188912/this-isnt-the-first-time-that-angus-stickler-and-newsnight-have-made-ott-claims-about-secret-child-abusers/
It seems that the Bureau Of Investigative Journalism with which they are connected, is a pressure group working towards using the Leveson Enquiry to restrict Freedom of Speech. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2233681/Leveson-Inquiry-Mail-dossier-raises-disturbing-questions-influence-quasi-masonic-nexus-people-know-best.html Common Purpose again. Same faces as before.

Iain Overton was involved in ‘managing’ the news during earlier enquiries into Bryn Estyn and dealt with Steve Messham at that time as well.
