There are many Jewish organizations in Britain which could have spoken up to refute this conspiracy theory, without a faction of the (American) Israel Lobby getting involved. The Israel Lobby has one purpose in mind, defending Israel, its continuing occupation and colonization of Palestinian lands, and to influence governments to take a pro-Israel stance. In other words, it intends to replicate the role of the Israel Lobby in America.

Now you can argue about the value of that role, but in my mind it has been damaging to America.
