Ken Livingstone has been suspended from office for four weeks by the Adjudication Panel of the Standards Board for England over his nazi jibe hurled at Oliver Finegold, an Evening Standard reporter.
Too much was made of this at the time but this is beyond ridiculous. It's a bit scary that an elected politician can be suspended by an unelected tribunal at the request of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
