And now we start seeing the wriggling and delaying tactics...
Quote:
A High Court judge is to consider whether it was unlawful to order Lord Janner to appear in court in person to face child sex abuse charges dating from the 1960s to the 1980s.
On Friday Westminster magistrates ruled the former Labour peer, 87, must appear in person for a hearing on the charges.
Lawyers acting for Lord Janner, who has dementia and denies the charges, argued he was too ill to attend court.
BBCFor a man stricken by Altzheimers I find it amazing. Might I enquire how was he able to instruct his Brief, or did someone do it for him?
Looks like the magistrate isn't too happy...

TelegraphI still think this stinks.
I have no idea if Janner committed the alleged crimes or not. - Only a court can decide that, just as only a court can decide if he is fit to plea or not. I still think all this wriggling and squirming is not about Janner, but is really about covering up for the Establishment.
Of course, the mild cynic in me thinks that 'they're' hoping he pops his cloggs before ever setting foot inside a court room, hence any tactic they can use to delay things.
The true cynic in me thinks that Mr Janner may meet with an unfortunate, but fatal, accident should these delaying tactics not be successful.
