Hassell must go
There is something truly disgusting about the treatment meted out to the family of Barry Davis by Mary Hassell, the inner London coroner. As if was not bad enough that her office told them that they would not be given his body for at least 13 days, they were then treated with contempt when they objected. It was only when the JC made contact with her office that the supposedly insuperable delays disappeared.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time Ms Hassell has demonstrated that she has a problem with Jewish (and Muslim) burial practices — indeed, one has to say, with Jews.
Last year, for example, she was reprimanded by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office for publicising a letter in which she alleged that she was being “bullied” by Jews.
