...even some disinterested observers have qualms about the tribunal. "This kind of thing is a mockery of the judicial process," says Quintin Hogg, Lord Hailsham, former Lord High Chancellor of Britain. "It is substituting trial by media for trial by courts." Simon Wiesenthal, the renowned Nazi hunter, also opposes the mock trial.

The Oxford Union's treasurer back then was Labor Party Leader Michael Foot, who did not speak on that famous first occasion but today advocates unilateral nuclear disarmament for Britain.
