The case against the former Labour MP, who was charged with 22 sexual offences dating back to the 1960s against nine boys and men, was set to be heard in a trial of the facts from which Lord Janner would be absent because of his dementia. After his death last month, prosecutors suggested the trial could go ahead posthumously. But on Friday the prosecutor Richard Whittam QC told the trial judge, Mr Justice Openshaw, that the crown would not go ahead with the proceedings planned for the Old Bailey in April. A long-awaited independent report into why it took decades to bring Lord Janner to court to face child sex abuse charges is due to be published this coming week, sources have told the Guardian. The Crown Prosecution Service and Leicestershire police are expected to face severe criticisms from retired judge Richard Henriques for mishandling investigations into the late peer in 1991, 2002 and 2007. One solicitor who represents alleged Janner victims said the report could shed light upon claims that the police were pressured by politicians to drop their previous inquiries. One alleged victim said on Friday that the decision to drop proceedings against the former MP would increase suspicion of “an establishment cover-up from day one” that stopped Janner from appearing before the courts. The 54-year-old man, who has claimed he was abused repeatedly in a children’s home by Janner over several years, said: “I am really disappointed. He was already deemed unfit to stand trial and wasn’t going to be in court anyway, so his death shouldn’t have made a difference. “The fact that he kicked the bucket should not have mattered. For once, they should have thought about the victims and let us go to court and let the court decide if we were telling the truth.” The alleged victim’s case mirrors that of others who have said they were based in children’s homes in Leicestershire when Janner, the then MP for Leicester West, was introduced to them. The man’s account and those of other alleged victims were first given to the police in 1991 and were raised again with detectives in 2005. After a further inquiry in 2014, Leicestershire police said there was enough evidence to pursue a legal case against Janner. The alleged victim, a labourer, said the decision would leave many feeling abandoned by the justice system. “I was going to go to court and tell them what happened,” he said. “I thought I was finally going to get some closure. Think what us, the victims, have been through. We were abused by a powerful man. When we plucked up courage to speak to the police, they didn’t believe us; decades later, we finally get near to a court and, somehow, he gets away with it and cheats the court because he dies.” The BBC, which has interviewed dozens of men and women who lived in children’s homes in Leicestershire in the 70s and 80s, reported on Friday that 12 former residents had claimed they were abused by Janner. The broadcaster spoke to council officials, social workers, police officers and journalists involved in investigating the case of Frank Beck, a notorious care home manager who was eventually convicted of child abuse. The BBC reported that lawyers were now representing at least 20 men and one woman, including the 12 residents of children’s homes, who say the former MP abused them and that police had said they had information from 25 alleged victims. Liz Dux, of Slater and Gordon, who represents a number of Janner’s alleged victims, said the claims against the former Labour MP were of the most “serious nature”. “My clients are absolutely devastated that they won’t give their evidence in a criminal court,” she said. “They totally understand the reasons why, but that doesn’t make up for the real travesty – that many gave their statements decades ago and have been denied justice through a failure to prosecute earlier when Janner was alive and well, and that’s something they can’t get over. “The next stage is the only opportunity for them to have their evidence heard, by the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse led by Judge Goddard. We’re hoping there will be an announcement by the Goddard inquiry shortly. “I hope they prioritise the Lord Janner case and that they will hear my client in person and make findings of facts so there are judicial findings made and then made public. “What is very disappointing is there was a painstaking inquiry by Leicestershire police since 2013 with a lot of other witnesses’ evidence, who weren’t victims but who were there to corroborate what victims were alleging. That evidence won’t be heard either.” At the time of Janner’s death on 19 December, the prosecution had an application pending to introduce a second tranche of charges, which covered additional victims. Janner was subject to three police investigations between 1991 and 2007. The CPS had, in those inquiries, decided there was insufficient evidence to charge Janner as a result of two of the investigations while the police did not submit a file to prosecutors on the third one. In April last year, the director of public prosecutions, Alison Saunders, said the evidential test was passed, but that “mistakes in the decision-making” were made by Leicestershire police in 2002 and the CPS in 1991 and 2007. The report by Henriques into the failures of previous inquiries last spring, which is expected to be released within days, will “go further” in its criticisms, sources say. The report’s findings will be closely examined by lawyers representing at least 20 alleged victims of Janner who are already pursuing civil proceedings against the peer’s estate. Some alleged victims have voiced suspicions that ministers and senior politicians from the Conservative party and Labour may have interfered in police inquiries. Peter Garsden, head of QualitySolicitors Abney Garsden, said: “I hope the Henriques review will elaborate upon whether the police were put under pressure by the government not to prosecute Janner, something which has long been rumoured. “The victims will await its publication with anticipation of it uncovering any cover-up which took place in the past. This has led to them being denied justice at a time when Janner was not lacking in capacity.” Another legal source claimed that the report could also lead to civil cases against the police or the CPS. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jan/15/greville-janner-child-sex-abuse-case-dropped ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT Is this the same British Crown Prosecution Service that has deprived Australian journalist Julian Assange of his liberty for over five years (without charge), having advised their Swedish counterparts not to interview Assange in Britain, and therefore having denied Assange an opportunity to defend himself in relation to Sweden's dubious 'allegations' and strategically stalled 'investigation'? Oh, and are these the same British authorities that have now spent just shy of $20-million American dollars ($28-million Australian) detaining Assange at the Embassy of Ecuador, under 24/7 police-guard siege spanning in excess of 3 years, during which time the said British authorities have blocked his lawfully granted (and patently justified) political asylum, in violation of international law and conventions?

UK Welfare Sanctions & Disappearing Welfare Claimants

ꕤ Article SOURCE https://www.rt.com/uk/329080-benefits-welfare-cuts-destitution/ Disappearing Welfare Claimants https://www.rt.com/uk/329080-benefits-welfare-cuts-destitution/ Close to 1.5 million benefit claimants could face destitution after disappearing from the welfare system, a former Labour minister has warned. Published time: 15 Jan, 2016 14:10 Field warned the government is unaware of how many claimants have been left impoverished because it is failing to properly monitor why they have disappeared from the welfare system. Following a forensic audit of the government’s welfare reforms, he found that the whereabouts of 1.5 million UK residents who drop off the state’s welfare rolls each year is unknown. The study, which will be published in full by Civitas on Monday, was authored by Field and his senior parliamentary researcher Andrew Forsey. It found that some of the welfare claimants who have been wiped off the system were hit by benefits sanctions, while others may be in jail or abroad. The study said that roughly half a million benefits sanctions were imposed on welfare claimants in the financial year 2014/15. It called upon the government to conduct an urgent survey of those citizens whose benefits are scrapped annually under the government’s sanctions regime. The report welcomed the government’s decision to trial a yellow card early warning scheme, but suggested the policy should be supplemented with non-financial sanctions for claimants who fail to meet the terms of their welfare program. It suggested the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) introduce trials whereby vulnerable people are offered a“grace period,”during which requirements imposed on them are softened to ease the “transition or acute difficulty.” The report also called for greater transparency, and urged the government to reveal how much expenditure is withdrawn under its benefits sanction regime. “The number of sanctions was halved in the year leading up to the 2015 election, but it still remained at half a million. Sanctions are therefore being applied at a scale unknown since the Second World War, and the operation of sanctions on this scale makes for a most significant change in the social security system as it has existed in the post-war period,” Field and Forsey wrote. “A number of people – we know not how large a number – are being totally disconnected from both work and welfare, and risk being exposed to destitution.” “Justice calls for a major survey of what happens to the hundreds of thousands of people thrown off the welfare rolls each year through the sanctioning process.” Field and Forsey said it is absolutely unacceptable for the government to strip benefits from masses of people annually and not concern itself about how this group of people will survive. “The ability to track the wellbeing of the whole population is now a part of being a grown up government, let alone a ‘One Nation’ government,’” they added. The DWP said Forsey’s and Field’s claims are baseless. “People leave the benefits system for many reasons, including when they go to work – which is good news,” a DWP spokesperson told the BBC. “It’s extremely unlikely anyone would leave the benefit system because of a sanction. The truth is we have record employment and we spend £80 billon supporting millions of people who are unemployed or on low incomes.” Field resigned from the government under former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair. In the wake of the 2010 election, he led an independent review into poverty in Britain for the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. He also co-chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Hunger in Britain in 2015. https://www.rt.com/uk/329080-benefits-welfare-cuts-destitution/ Field = Frank Field It looks as though he has completely changed his tune? He's gone from being pro sanctions to lobbying on behalf of the sanctioned?  That doesn't make sense. Field is also opposed to freedom of speech, by the look of the Wikipedia entry. "Private views thought to be damaging to public conduct, and expressed in public, would be monitored and suppressed." [Wikipedia] The guy sounds like the Stasi.  Sounds rather scary.  lol  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Field_%28British_politician%29  '“Moral and civic duties provide the very foundations upon which civilised life is built and are a proper area for legislative prescription and if necessary sanctions”' -- Frank Field [purportedly, book:  'Neighbours From Hell'] Source | Wirral Leaks "Frank, who has attacked the Conservative government for cutting benefits to the poor, is ready, for those who fail to abide by his model of society, to…well…cut their benefits! Not only this, but the imposing of sanctions should be seen as a criminal justice matter! ‘The agency deciding what action should follow a repeated failure to meet a [citizen’s] contract should be the police and only the police. Once the police have the required  evidence to levy a sanction…[it] should automatically come into operation on the appropriate benefit.’" Source | Wirral Leaks 'Wirralgate Cover-up' mentioned.  Sounds ridiculous.  It's about a tape recording of using 'inappropriate language' (eye-roll).  Local council thing.  More | here. Enjoyed the Wirral Leaks article.  Interesting analysis of policy and poverty. ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT Check out how the UK government let up on screwing the vulnerable public in the lead-up to the election.  What's the bet that was a deliberate slackening of sanctions they otherwise would impose? Democracy doesn't work.  People are still fighting for the same things that keep getting wound back by governments, and governments are always inefficient and dodgy. People shouldn't have to incessantly campaign for their governments to do the right thing.  They should be doing it, and they should be transparent without people having to campaign for transparency -- all the time. I don't think they have a right to sanction anybody.  The government is the front for the interests that have appropriated land and privatised it, effectively corralling or imprisoning free men as labourer-slave human livestock, who are no longer free to live off the land that was stolen from free men:  hunters and warriors.   Those that have stolen land and imprisoned free men are therefore obligated to provide for the well-being of those whose heritage they have usurped and whose self-sufficiency they have denied.  How's that for an argument?  lol It sounds reasonable to me, because if you dismantle society as it was, privatise land and deprive a people of the ability to sustain themselves in their customary way (ie dismantle a way of life that involved freely and communally living off the land), in order to create societies that are based on usurping land and usurping resources for the benefit of a few, then those people that have basically been displaced by such are system are undeniably entitled to sustenance etc.  I'm talking about responsibility of nations to nationals, rather than notions  of universal responsibility. PS ... I think I might have a romanticised view of the 'displaced' by the system.  Just checked out some tabloid mayhem reports, and I'm horrified by what I see.  Where are the proud hunters and warriors I imagine? Now I'm kind of inclined towards state totalitarianism, strict breeding restrictions, and a selective breeding regime.  lol ꕤ

Sweden - Rape & Mayhem Round-Up - Ingrid Carlqvist

ꕤ Article SOURCE http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7133/sweden-rapes-acquittals-severed-heads Sweden's 'Feminist' Lie Sweden: Rapes, Acquittals and Severed Heads One Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in Sweden: November 2015 by Ingrid Carlqvist December 29, 2015 at 6:00 am Translation of the original text: Sverige: Våldtäkter, frikännanden och avhuggna huvuden Translated by Maria Celander Some 30 Muslim men thought that the woman was in violation of Islamic sharia law, by being in Sweden unaccompanied by a man. They thought that she should therefore be raped and her teenage son killed. Two Swedish citizens were convicted by a Gothenburg Court of joining an Islamist terror group in Syria and murdering two captives. Video evidence showed one victim being beheaded. "Every night when I have gone to bed, I have seen a head hanging in the air." — Court Chairman Ralf G. Larsson. Sometime during the night, the victim was awakened by the Iraqi as he raped her. The woman managed to break free and locate a train attendant. At first, the woman did not want to call the police. "She felt sorry for him [the rapist] ... and was afraid he would be deported back to Iraq." November 4: Bobel Barqasho, a 31-year-old Syrian, was sentenced by Sweden's Supreme Court to 14 years in prison. Before his case reached the Supreme Court, Barqasho had been sentenced by a lower court to 9 years in prison, then acquitted by the Court of Appeals. In February 2013, Barqasho threw his wife off a sixth-floor balcony. Against all odds, the woman survived the 13-meter (about 43 feet) fall, but was badly injured. When she woke up after five weeks in a coma, her head was held together by a helmet, her face felt loose, and her teeth were gone. In the Court of Appeals, the defense managed to plant reasonable doubt about the man's guilt by claiming the woman was depressed and had jumped of her own free will] so the Court of Appeals set him free. By the time the Supreme Court pronounced its sentence of 14 years, Barqasho had disappeared. He is now being sought by Interpol. November 6: The Grönkulla School in Alvesta closed after reports of a rape at the facility spread on social media. A Somali boy had apparently been sexually harassing a 12-year-old girl for some time. On October 17, he allegedly took his attentions a step farther, pulled the girl behind a bush and raped her. The girl's father had been unsuccessful in trying to get the school to address the problem earlier, but even after the reported rape, the school's management did not act. The boy was allowed to continue going to the school – just on a schedule different from the girl's. Her distraught parents told the news website Fria Tider: "We are being spat on because we are Swedish." In protest against the school's management, many parents, viewing the school as having sided with the perpetrator, moved their children to other schools. November 9: Social commentator and whistleblower Merit Wager revealed on her blog that administrators at the Immigration Service had all been ordered to "accept the claim that an applicant is a child, if he does not look as if he is over 40." A staggering 32,180 "unaccompanied refugee children" had arrived during 2015 by December 1 -- since then another 1,130 have come -- and the government finally decided to take action. If its proposition is approved by Parliament, everyone who looks adult-aged will be forced to go through a medical age-determination procedure. One of the reasons Sweden stopped doing these in the first place, was that pediatricians refused to take part in them. They said the procedures were "unreliable." November 10: A 28-year-old Iraqi man was prosecuted for raping a woman on a night train between Finland and Sweden. The man had originally planned to seek asylum in Finland, but had found the living conditions there too harsh. He had therefore taken a train back to Sweden. In a couchette (sleeping car where men and women are together), the rapist and two other asylum seekers met one of the many Swedish women whose hearts go out to "new arrivals." The woman bought sandwiches for the men; they drank vodka. When two of the men started groping the woman, she told them to stop, yet chose to lie down and go to sleep. Sometime during the night, she was awakened by the Iraqi as he raped her. The woman managed to break free and locate a train attendant. To the attendant's surprise, the woman did not immediately want to press charges. The court documents state: "The train attendant asked if he should call the police. At first, the woman did not want him to do so, because she did not want to put N.N., an asylum seeker, in a tough spot. She felt sorry for him... and was afraid he would be deported back to Iraq." The man was given a sentence of one year in prison, payment of 85,000 kronor (about $10,000) in damages, and deportation -- but will be allowed to come back to Sweden after five years. November 10: An Algerian and a Syrian asylum seeker were indicted for raping a Swedish woman in Strängnäs. The men, 39-year-old from Algeria and 31-year-old from Syria, met the woman in a bar one night in August. When the woman left, one of the men followed her, pulled her to the ground, and assaulted her. Afterwards, the woman kept walking, and ran into two other men -- the Syrian and another unidentified man -- and was raped again. The Syrian reportedly also spit her in face and said, "I'm going to f--k you, little Swedish girl." The men, who lived at the same asylum house, denied knowing each other when questioned by the police. The verdict was announced on December 1. Rapist number one was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, 117,000 kronor (about $14,000) in damages, and deportation to Algeria. Rapist number two was convicted of aggravated rape and sentenced to four years in prison. He cannot be deported, however, because "there are currently hindrances towards enforcing deportations to Syria." He was also ordered to pay the woman 167,000 kronor (about $20,000) in damages. November 13: A trial began against eight Eritrean men, between the ages of 19 and 26, who according to the District Court, "crudely and ruthlessly" gang-raped a 45-year-old woman. She had been waiting in a stairwell for a friend when the men invited her into an apartment. Inside, she was thrown on the floor, held down, beaten and brutally raped. When questioned by the police, she said, "It felt as if there were hands and fingers everyplace. Fingers penetrated me, vaginally, anally. It hurt very much. I could feel the fingernails." She said she could also hear the Eritreans laughing and speaking in their own language while they raped her. "They seemed to be enjoying themselves," she said. When two of the men started fighting over who should rape her next, she tried to flee, but one of the men hit her over the head; she fell unconscious. After coming to, she escaped out a window and was able to reach a neighbor. The District Court of Falun established that several men had taken part in the attack, but the District Attorney was unable to prove who had done what. Therefore, only one man was convicted of aggravated rape, and sentenced to five years in prison. The others were sentenced to only 10 months in prison for helping to conceal a serious criminal offense. After serving their time, the men will be allowed to stay in Sweden.

But in 'feminist' Sweden they're either let go, or let go after a light sentence -- and permitted to continue to live amongst Swedes, continuing to suck up benefits from Swedish taxpayers (who are burdened and displaced). I have no words for the anger and disgust that I feel on behalf of the Swedes. Note the contrast between the treatment of the above gang rapists and violent criminals, and the treatment of  US target, political prisoner, WikiLeaks publisher, Julian Assange.

Sweden has had ample opportunity to interview Assange in respect of their 'investigation' of Sweden police 'allegations', but Sweden has refused for over 5 years to enter into an arrangement to interview Assange (until recently making such arrangement).

Sweden is a lie.  Sweden's 'feminism' is fake.  Sweden's 'justice' is a fraud.  Sweden's 'humanitarianism' is a farce. Sweden needs to get rid of its corrupt and insane political elite, by the look of things. ꕤ
