Catherine 'Fiona' Swain [now Woolf]

It's been revealed the Lord Mayor of London, Catherine 'Fiona' Woolf is to carry out role of investigating claims of an Establishment cover-up of VIP paedophile rings, that the top corporate lawyer is also closely linked to Lord Brittan – who is likely to give evidence to her inquiry - and who the finger of blame has long been pointed at, rightly or wrongly Lord Brittan is being accused of overseeing an Establishment cover-up when Home- "Secret-ary".

Catherine Fiona Woolf CBE (née Swain); born 11 May 1948, Edinburgh, UK.

Woolf’s Scots heritage is illustrious indeed. Her mother is Lancashire-born Margaret Swain MBE (1909-2002).

Born Margaret Helen Hart in Lancashire, she was the eldest of five children. In 1929 she went to London to train as a nurse at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and it was there that she met her future husband, Richard (Dick) Swain, then a bacteriologist.

Today we'd more likely refer to him as a microbiologist; Dick, Fiona's father, was Richard Henry Austin Swain, who among other works wrote 'Clinical virology' by R.H.A. Swain and T.C. Dodds. Edinburgh, London, E. & S. Livingston, 1967.

It was Dick’s appointment to a teaching post at Edinburgh University in 1947 that brought the family to Scotland just as the first Edinburgh International Festival was starting. At an exhibition in the Signet Library, Margaret was first made aware of Ayrshire needlework. Finding no books on the subject, she researched it for herself, and her findings were published in 1955 as The Flowerers.

Much of the work for her second book, Historical Needlework: A Study of Influences in Scotland and Northern England, published in 1970, was based on her travels round Scotland with Lady Victoria Wemyss. 

LADY VICTORIA Wemyss, who has died aged 104, was the subject, with her mother the Duchess of Portland, of a photograph taken 102 years ago which is probably the earliest surviving commercial work by the photographer Alice Hughes (1857-1939).

Lady Victoria Wemyss (nee Cavendish-Bentinck) seen below, was herself an intimate of the royal circle: her father, the sixth Duke of Portland, was Master of the Horse to Queen Victoria and her mother, the Duchess, later Mistress of the Robes to Queen Alexandra. Lady Victoria, probably the last surviving godchild of Queen Victoria, was for 57 years an Extra Woman of the Bedchamber to her cousin Queen Elizabeth (later the Queen Mother).

The pencil drawing below by Dame Elizabeth Blackadder was accepted by the gallery in 2001. Swain was a celebrated historian in the field of embroidery and textiles.  While in Glasgow promoting British professional services to the Commonwealth nations, Woolf was signed up to the GlobalScot network of influential global businesspeople by Holyrood’s minister for energy, enterprise and tourism, Fergus Ewing.

"When it became clear that on 8th November 2013 the Lord Mayor in 2013/14 would be my wife, Alderman Fiona Woolf CBE, I determined that I would support her year as the Lord Mayor’s Consort by providing a leadership programme within the City to increase the number and effectiveness of charity Chairs and Chairmen. The theme of Fiona’s mayoralty is “The Energy to Transform Lives” and the charitable aspects embodied within this focus are all within the framework of The Lord Mayor’s Appeal." - Nicholas Woolf.

So ladies and gentlemen is this just another woolf in a sheep's wigs and robes, as it has to be said that the public will have no more faith, in fact probably less than they did with Baroness Butler-Schlossss in leading this inquiry; as it is quite blatantly obvious she has far too many connections within not only legal fraternities "magic circle", but the government - whom it's members are being looked into, including those in the very highest positions of power and whom it's been alleged are also involved.  This is why it is paramount that these types of pro-establishment, institutionalised career folk whom know far too many influential people in high places who could continue to prevent the truth from being exposed.  

Nicholas Woolf and his wife Fiona seem to involved in so many charities, it's beyond-belief they can manage all their workloads or should I say - they can be beneficial to all these charities and organisations they belongs to and head; it must be costing the charities a small fortune to pay the chairmanship going rate fees.

He was the Master of The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers, a City of London livery company, in 2009/10.

Graduated from LSE and was for many years a partner in Arthur Andersen, retiring in 2002.

He them became Chairmn of the St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group in June 2012 and yet another new charity registered in 2010. His a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser he was for many years been a partner with Arthur Andersen, the same as his wife. He either was or currently is Chairman of Princess Alice Hospice based in Esher, Surrey, Chairman of Beating Bowel Cancer, Deputy Chairman of Barts & The London Charity and was until recently a non-executive director of Westminster Primary Care Trust. He is also a liveryman of The Gardeners’ Company and The Tylers and Bricklayers Company. It's very likely he is a Freemason as well.

In an interview with Legal Week - the following is an extract from it; 

Juggling professional and family life is a concept Woolf is all-too familiar with. When she married chartered accountant and tax adviser Nicholas in 1990 she became a stepmother to two children aged 12 and 16. “I inherited a bustling family that needed transportation to oboe, drama and tennis, just at the time when Nicholas said I ought to export what I’ve learnt on the electricity privatisation all over the world,” she says.

“It was quite hard to organise life during the school holidays. I remember worrying about that a lot, but taking the children with us, particularly when I was travelling, seemed to be the answer to a prayer. They were wonderfully resilient and rose to the challenge of having two professionals in the parenting role.”
As part of her mission, Woolf has installed red buses on routes cutting across the City with the words ‘We are all dedicated to diversity’ emblazoned on the side. 

Mr and Mrs Woolf with Mr Cameron and fellow of the Bullingdon Club like Boris Johnson.

This is why the "head" of such an inquiry, perhaps helped with such legal beagles such as Woolf, though not to be given any power other than to advise the panel, that should be made-up of 50% of members of the public, perhaps long-term campaigners who know all about these types of abuse cases, alongside 50% of academic and legal teams so as everything can be done by the book.  

No matter how high-up in the establishment they may be, - if the evidence is there to charge them, then they must be.  

It's been alleged on various websites and blogs that Nicolas Woolf is related to Lord Woolf, for sure they sure the same surname and it's a real coincidence Fiona is in the same legal game as Lord Woolf, though currently cannot find this direct connection between them so shall decline in mentioning much more on the subject and until perhaps it can been proved. 

However, for those wanting a more in your face and straight forward accusations alleging Lord Harry Woolf as being instrumental in denying a right of appeal for Barry George who was falsely imprisoned for 8 years for the murder of Crimewatch presenter, Jill Dando - and much more then see;

In the longer term if the government doesn't face this head on; - it will cause more detriment to the establishment itself; that they can't afford to let that happen, despite that they probably will and why the general public has lost all faith in anyone in government or authority.

Under current conditions - the Scott's would be mad to vote No!
