Pinoccio's nose grew longer every time he told a lie.

Tonight at the University of London Richard Falk and Michael Mansfield QC seemed to be vying to grow the longest nose (Mansfield is a leftist legal advocate who presided over the Kangaroo Court on Israel (aka Russell Tribunal) last week; Falk is an American law academic, a UN honcho on the Palestinians and an as-a-Jew. He is barred from Israel, for the antisemitic comparison of Israel to the Nazis).

From Falk we had (speaking about the security fence): "The wall has no security role"

From Mansfield (who was chairing): "You cannot use certain words in the Press when it comes to Israel"
