The death announced today of Lord Janner, 19th December 2015, conveniently puts an end to the public hearing and testing of evidence lodged against him in allegations of sexual abuse of young boys in a care home .
Following the announcement, the Labour MP for Rochdale, Simon Danczuk, is reported by The Independent as saying that he does not regret his decision to make public the allegations against the peer by using his parliamentary privilege to do so during a debate in Westminster Hall.
On that occasion, in June this year, Mr Danczuk said that he had been told by Leicestershire Police that the former Labour peer s abuses of children had seen them violated, raped and tortured some in the very building in which we now sit .
These children, now adult, were in the most vulnerable position of all, in public care in our care, in our name unsafe in what is serially being revealed as the practice pf paedophiles to prey unhindered upon young people, predominantly boys, held in homes in the care of the public sector.
Lord Janner was recently accepted by the Crown Prosecution Service to be unfit to stand trial.
This decision cleared the way for the public hearing and testing of the evidence against him; a process where no verdict could be delivered since Lord Jenner would not be present to defend himself although his interests would be represented by a legal team who would vigorously test that evidence.
This process would have offered some justice to the victims whose allegations have been known for a substantial length of time and have been managed out of being tested in law by the establishment rallying around a very well connected peer.
Lord Jenner s extraordinarily convenient death now apparently aborts the public hearing of evidence for the arcane reason that because there is now no accused person , there is no focus for a Crown prosecution.
This cannot be allowed to stand.
Of course there is sympathy for the Jenner family but that does not weigh in the balance of society doing all it can to offer some solace to the most vulnerable possible of our members young people betrayed in places we pay for, in no position to defend themselves and with no one else prepared to do so whatever their responsibilities required of them.
We cannot tolerate what is effectively the public sector farming of young boys in their care to well connected paedophiles often politicians and celebrities. The unspeakable activities of Jimmy Saville revealed that this practice is long established. This is no less than a fully obscene form of slave trading.
There is no argument worthy of being put up against the imperative to do whatever can be done to right a wrong too awful to contemplate.
Lord Janner would not have been present during the hearing of evidence against him in any case.
His Alzheimers would have prevented him having the least consciousness of what was going on.
He would have been effectively dead to the event.
That he is now actually dead makes no substantial difference.
If Regina cannot formally prosecute Lord Janner, in such a hearing of evidence, perhaps Regina can actually defend the interests of the abused?
Whatever it takes, for the political integrity of this country this public hearing of evidence must take place as planned.
Lord Janner was protected by his position from the trial that ought to have taken place years ago, when his state of mind was beyond contest.
If that protection remains so easily open to him posthumously through so arcane a legal technicality, the people will see only an establishment heaving a sigh of relief that nothing need now be done.
This society must now stand for those it is primarily responsible for defending and whom it has serially failed.
It cannot fail yet again.
There is an unarguable case for a public petition to secure for the abused the justice of a public hearing of the evidence in this matter.
We would urge Simon Danczuk MP, as the most appropriate person, to found such a public petition and have written to ask him to do so.
