text: 23 April 2015 →NewStatesman, Parliament? Over the years I've met several powerful men there who have no idea of boundaries: “…Nonetheless, Westminster attracts a certain type. Not just politicians, but the kind of people who like to murmur in corridors and burrow away into its recesses. People who have grown up with, or grow to understand, a set of arbitrary and arcane rules paraded as tradition. Public school people…All I can say now is that over the years, in this House of Rules, I have met several powerful men who have no idea of boundaries. Of any kind. At all.”

Putting the election aside, 11 leading figures said that Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders was ‘damaging public confidence’ in the justice system with her ruling. The CPS has been accused of double standards for not prosecuting Lord Janner after it emerged at least 19 men with dementia have been convicted of child sex offences since 2010, including ten in the past year….”

  18 April 2015 →Tom pride, Police release extraordinary statement on Lord Janner: “this animal is still being protected”: “After the extraordinary decision by the Crown Prosecution Service not to prosecute Lord Janner for child sex abuse, Leicestershire Police are obviously so incensed that they have released an extremely strong statement on their official website from one of Janner’s alleged victims. The man expressly requested that Leicestershire Police make his statement publicly available. So here it is: “This animal is still being protected because [of his status] and isn’t able to stand trial. They say that it’s not in the public interest, but isn’t it in the public interest to know what his victims have gone through at the hands of this man? If he was an everyday person with a normal life and job, justice would [have] been served, but as it stands we victims are just being pushed to the ground again and walked over. Let someone feel the pain and suffering that I’ve endured and still going to endure for the rest of my life. It’s not a case of being found guilty or going to prison – it’s about being believed after so long being told that we were lying. Justice needs to be served.””

Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions, announced there was sufficient evidence to justify charging the 86-year-old with crimes against nine boys over three decades up to 1988. She said the peer, who served as a Labour MP from 1970 to 1997, should also have been charged after three earlier police investigations. But Ms Saunders claimed it was no longer in the public interest to prosecute him as he was now suffering from such severe dementia that he would not be fit to stand trial…”
