well, Judge Goddard may look at the case, that's something.

[Jackdaw33]

Is that a promise, Mikey?

[mikey4444]

Yes !

Hell welcomes another inmate...

A "trial of the facts" set for April will no longer take place. A lawyer representing alleged victims said they had been denied justice.

His family said . . . he was a man of "great integrity" and "entirely innocent of any wrongdoing".

How do they know?

//His family said . . . he was a man of "great integrity" //
Bet Cyril Smiths family said the same thing.
If theres not an upper class VIP political pedophile ring in operation then I'm a bloody martian...
(but then I would be called a conspiricy theorist)

the good news is you can now say what you like about him.

//the good news is you can now say what you like about him.//
Which is more than could be said when he could have faced a trial....

[New Judge]

"Liz Dux, who represents six alleged victims, said: "This is devastating news for my clients. "

Quite. And it's not entirely a barrel of laughs for My Lord Janner's family either.

NJ, they won't consider it a merciful release?

[Hopkirk]

Well I thought he was faking it, so I should admit I was wrong shouldn't I?

[Jackdaw33]

Like Savile he has gone to his grave untried. People know what they know, let this be an end.

New Judge, just as a matter of interest are you a 'real' New Judge as in a newly qualified one (if that's the term and i'm sure it won't be)? I hope you don't mind me asking.

There's no winners when justice hasn't been seen to have been done.

The Question that has puzzled me is that after he was diagnosed with Dementia and unfit to plea against child abuse charges, he was still driving himself to the House of Lords and collecting his dosh!

[venator]

Another whited sepulchure?

[DTCwordfan]

Up yours, Lord Janny-baby, when you reach the fiery portico.....

[DTCwordfan]

And maybe, hopefully, he joins the Edward II Berkeley club.

[New Judge]

I don't mind you asking, Dahlia and I'm sure you won't mind me declining to answer :-)
