Adam Werritty’s friend and long term contact, the British Ambassador to Israel, Matthew Gould, accompanied Greville Janner to visit a kindergarten in Israel in 2012, which was named in Janner’s honour. I wonder if the government of Israel will now change the name?
The irony of naming a kindergarten after Janner is extraordinary. But is it not strange that in 2012, when Janner’s activities had been known to the authorities for decades, Matthew Gould was accompanying him to a kindergarten of all places? Is the Foreign Office really that dense? It is also not normal for an Ambassador to accompany an opposition Lord around in this way.
I could not help but be struck by the link below the last linked piece, to an article by Greville Janner entitled “My Friend Michael Jackson“.
There’s at least one poster who will be difficult to drive away. Like the country from which he hails, he is very invasive and his occupations are likely to outstay their welcome.
Talking about Israel there?
I did not mean to imply you were Israeli or lived in Israel, Lysias, it was the word ‘occupations’ that did it.
Yes I thought it was telling that those barristers operate, sorry ‘practise’, in tax havens. The client lists would make interesting reading.
Mirvis has employed a spin doctor. Doesn’t he need one. Protective Edge, Janner, Occupied Palestine, IDF atrocities……

In the JC piece, an acronym ‘OCR’ is used. Anyone?
And still not a word in defence of Janner from the organisations to which he belonged or headed.
Office of the Chief Rabbi!

John Spencer-Davis 5:15 pm You are absolutely correct and here is an example of such a trial of the facts taking place http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Pensioner-child-rape-charges-unfit-court/story-11678488-detail/story.html. The CPS still have questions to answer namely why are they not following this process and why didn’t they mention they could go down this road in the statement yesterday.
It would appear that just like Savile, Janner has cloaked himself in worthwhile causes.
Interesting update : DPP legal adviser’s ‘link to Lord Janner’s son’: Barrister who spoke with top prosecutor over whether to prosecute peer works at the same chambers as Lord Janner’s son.

Could not spot Janner in St Theresa’s adoring audience here! All other British Jewish leaders seem to be present. Listen to her expounding on the costly measures she has put in place for the Jewish community. Also note the Israeli flags.
