収容所看守発言で停職４週 ロンドン市長に裁定委
2006年 2月24日 (金) 23:38
【ロンドン２４日共同】ロンドンのケン・リビングストン市長（６０）が昨年２月、ユダヤ人記者をナチス・ドイツのユダヤ人強制収容所の看守になぞらえる発言をした問題で、第三者機関の裁定委員会は２４日、同氏が市の評判を損なったとして４週間の停職処分にする裁定を下した。
ＰＡ通信などによると、同委員会は市長が記者に対し「不必要に無神経で攻撃的」な言動を取ったと認定した。停職は３月１日から。
市長は昨年、公式行事の後で夕刊紙記者から質問を受け、記者がユダヤ人と分かると「金のために何かをやるのは強制収容所の看守と同じだ」などと述べ、社会問題になっていた。

Livingstone wins reprieve as judge freezes his suspension
by Gordon MacMillan Brand Republic 28 Feb 2006
LONDON - Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, has had his four weeks' suspension from office postponed pending appeal, as a High Court judge freezes the ruling of the Adjudication Panel for England.
Thepanel, which is unelected,suspended Livingstone on Friday for remarks he made comparing Jewish Evening Standard reporter Oliver Finegold to a Nazi concentration camp guard.
The case has dragged on for months, after Livingstone refused to apologise for his comments, leading to his referral to the Adjudication Panel for England by Standards Board for England, the body responsible for English local government standards. On Friday, the panel ruled he should be suspended for four weeks from March 1.
The Mayor, who has attacked the ban as undemocratic, has applied for a judicial review and might take his case to the court of appeal and the House of Lords if need be.
Livingstone said: "I believe what I said was right. I said it to many journalists. No one has ever complained before.
"The adjudication tribunal found that my comment to the Evening Standard journalist had been 'unnecessarily insensitive' and 'offensive'. Those are not grounds for overturning the decision of the voters of London to elect me as Mayor. As far as I am aware there is no law against 'unnecessary insensitivity' or even 'offensiveness' to journalists harassing you as you try to go home."
The case has become a battle ground between Livingstone and Associated Newspapers, which owns the Evening Standard and the Daily Mail.
The comments were made as Livingstone left a party for former Labour MP Chris Smith, marking 20 years as Britain's first openly gay MP.
Livingstone has accused Associated of 25 years of abuse and Veronica Wadley, the Evening Standard editor, of waging a campaign against him and his office.
"Wadley complained in her personally written editorial that I had failed to show 'the minimum standard of behaviour that everyone should respect'. She then went on to describe me as a liar, a hypocrite, a coward and arrogant. Clearly Ms Wadley has had an irony by-pass.
"Nor is her venom in this instance untypical. Shortly after she became editor of the Evening Standard on the November 21 2002 she published a profile of me in which I was described as a 'snappy, snarling brute', 'voracious', 'frightening', 'ugly', 'raging' and 'gripped by paranoia'," Livingstone said in a statement.
Livingstone said he believed that at the heart of the complaint, which was brought by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, were his views on Israel, because opponents accuse his criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic.
"Some time before this incident was blown out of all proportion, the Board of Deputies asked to meet me to urge me to tone down my views on the Israeli government. For far too long, the accusation of anti-Semitism has been used against anybody who is critical of the policies of the Israeli government. Even Tony Blair was recently described as a 'common anti-Semite' in an Israeli newspaper," he said.
