Beware are any of these hostels near you

The majority of these hostels are still approved to accept paedophiles.

Here is the information as it appears on the official list.

* Premises marked with an asterisk signifies the hostel is now closed to paedophiles as a result of the News of the World's campaign. Our list is adapted from a Home Office 2004 resources review document which listed 100 approved premises in England and Wales. We have not included 14 hostels for which current status is unclear

TBH I am going to be a bit of a hypocrite here and say, well paedos have to go somewhere, and at least if they are in a supervised hostel then we know where they are. But having said that, I wouldn't actually want the aforementioned hostel to be next door to me!

Isn't there a list for Scotland?

My neighbours from a few houses ago, had their wee boy abducted and killed by a convicted paedophile out on licence. They never got over it. That's why I get so bloody angry with the McCanns and their pretendy paedophile abductors. I just KNOW that they aren't telling the truth!
