Kidd was a predator - victim

One of Paul Kidd's victims - who came forward after spotting his boasts in the M.E.N. - described him as a 'predator'. Speaking anonymously the 41-year-old, originally from Tameside, said Kidd hatched a sophisticated plan to trap him. He explained: "I was about 14 and really into CB radios. I met him through that and it went from there. He was well dressed and polite. One night he asked me to stay over so I could use his radio in the morning. I suppose it was like an early day version of the internet." The victim, who is now married and has two children, said Kidd's flat was littered with pictures of the royal family. He said: "He used to tell me anecdotes about his job as a butler. I remember one story he told about being at Balmoral with another servant. He said they jumped out and scared two old ladies walking by. It was the Queen and Queen mother. "He also told me the Queen used to like scrambled egg on toast." The victim kept his silence about his abuse, which continued for four years. He said it left him 'scarred mentally' and addicted to drugs for ten years. It was only 30 years later, when reading the M.E.N., that he decided to come forward - a move that brought Kidd to justice. "There was a double page spread about Diana's death and tenth anniversary and there he was," he said. "The fact he was making money out of it incensed me - charging £2,000 to £4,000 to speak about the royal family. My wife always said I should go to the police. That's what triggered it - that article." The victim revealed he knew of at least five others who Kidd abused."I'm not surprised nobody else came forward before me," he said. "He was really good at what he did. If there was an institute for predatory paedophiles he would be the top doctor there. He is so arrogant. He thinks he is invincible." The victim, who now lives in Lancashire, keeps a close eye on his own children. He said: "They use the internet and we monitor it closely. They aren't allowed on networking sites. They rarely stay at friends and when they do it's someone I trust. But I'd just ask parents to keep a close eye on their children. Who knows what might happen to them." Manchester Evening News

How on earth did he get a job as a royal butler with teeth like that? They are enough to put anyone off their venison and caviar! A Tameside UKIP representative has made an unofficial statement on UKIP’s position in relation to this vile man. Copied below is what he said and I can sympathise with the way he feels. I have absolutely no doubt that this has come as an enormous embarrassment to UKIP members in Tameside. However; political parties can and do attract all sorts of odd bods and deviants. Kidd was obviously a very accomplished con-merchant and I cannot possibly see how this can tarnish the image of UKIP, I think we have all been fooled by dishonest fraudsters at one time or another and unfortunately for UKIP, Kidd chose them as his preferred party but he could just as easily joined any other party and I bet everyone would have been fooled by him.

Paul Kidd has today been sentenced to a minimum of 6 years in prison, his actual sentence is indeterminate, but he will serve the judges recommendation.I sometimes despair of lenient sentences handed down by judges in many cases, let us hope there are mitigating circumstances in this case as this is the equivalent to a 12 year standard sentence, which without hearing the evidence seems on the low side for the offences he admitted. I have refrained from commenting on this case, as the justice system has to have its day unhindered. I am very saddened on a personal level to have been such a poor judge of character, my only defence is nobody else knew either.I would also like to say that I am heartened by the restraint Tameside Politicians, candidates and supporters have shown in not making this a party political issue.
