THIS EXARONEWS REPORT DOES NOT SHOW EMMERSON IN A GOOD LIGHT

Ben Emmerson, counsel to #CSAinquiry, was remarkably silent throughout Theresa May’s final meeting with panel. 1/6 http://t.co/a3HMTyRntz

The more we examine Emmerson's behaviour the more we understand why Theresa May appointed him not only as counsel to the historic child abuse inquiry but also to the Litvinenko Inquiry.

It is absolutely crystal clear that the British government has not wanted an inquiry into the death of Alexander Litvinenko. He died in November 2006 yet it is only now over 8 years later that an inquiry is being held into his death, despite many calls for such from his wife and other concerned parties. This is on a similar scale to the inquiry into the death of Diana (and most of the UK thinks that she was murdered by you know who). And of all the QCs she could have appointed May appoints one prepared to represent MI5 against one of the finest journalists on the planet, Tony Gosling.

And so far the bumbling and 'errors' of Theresa May have also ensured that it will now take years before any report on Whitehall kiddie-fiddling and murder is issued, and that very curiously and suspiciously the scope of the inquiry has been widened to include Rotherham. But if Rotherham why not Rochdale and Oxford too? Each of these scandals should have their own unique inquiry...preferably not with Emmerson as Counsel to any of them.
