I recently came across a BBC article that backed up my observation about truths.
The following is an extract from the article:

Some people suggest this refusal to think is produced by the system itself - it's the only way our current economic and political arrangements can keep on going. This may be so, but the resolute avoidance of unsettling facts is a deep-seated human trait.
While we live surrounded by unknown unknowns, we live on the basis of unknown knowns - intractable facts that we prefer to forget. We'd do better to confront these awkward realities and muddle through more intelligently. We humans are sturdy and resilient animals, with enormous capacities of creativity and adaptability, but consistently realistic thinking seems to be beyond our powers. This may well be the biggest unknown known of them all - in an age that prides itself on its advancing knowledge and superior understanding, we're as anxious as ever to avoid facing up to our actual condition.

I came across this article today and it reminded me of certain conclusions I drew in my book.

Compare these quotes from the article and my own book:

Article
The group is alleged to have included senior figures in public life, the military, politics and law enforcement.
..."They had no hesitation in doing what they wanted to do," Nick said. "Some of them were quite open about who they were. They had no fear at all of being caught, it didn't cross their mind."

Book
The cover-up was so complete that it must have involved several people in positions of real power across the whole spectrum of the Establishment. That observation is supported by the fact that even though some of the cover-up activities were serious, the perpetrators obviously didn't think there was a risk in doing them....It was as if the Establishment had hit the emergency button, classified the cover-up as priority number one and locked down every avenue to justice. That every political party, lawyer, police authority, charity, court and media entity I contacted were nullified beggared belief.

Nothing has changed. Those that aided Lily's abduction and the subsequent cover-up just knew they would get away with it.

In this country ironically called Great Britain, institutions are protected at the expense of the public: reputation before truth and justice.
