The Price of Injustice:
Confusion, Death And Destruction

The distant echo of the chant 'no justice, no peace' can be heard the length and breadth of this country as those who feel aggrieved about injustice have demonstrated, rallied and 'rioted against the UK government and its instruments of 'State' power.

Justice is 'the' eternal principle of 'right and wrong,' a guiding light by which the affairs of men and women are judged. Eternal as it is, the principle has escaped the consciousness of the UK Government and its instruments of State power, whose duty it is to implement and enforce the law of the land for the benefit of all regardless to race, class, creed or colour.

Unknown to many, Justice never rests. It is always on guard, taking account of all injustice and meeting out retribution in due proportion. The 'strong arm' of Justice, is its ability to consider and take into account the weight and deeds of men and women, and to implement punishment, if necessary, accordingly.

Abuse of this eternal principle evokes strong condemnation from the citizens of nations such that governments are removed by the will and force of the people, by external enemies or by the destruction of the people, their future generations and their land by 'Acts of God.'

In the Scriptures of Jews, Christians and Muslims 'the price of injustice' is given credence, when nations of the past were afflicted with earthquakes, fire, rain, snow, hails, tornadoes, socio-political and economic problems, distress of the people and ultimately the destruction of that nation and people.

Nature

Here in England, unprecedented and ferocious destructive gale force winds and heavy rain have brought death and destruction since the beginning of the new millennium (year 2000).

It has caused damage to homes, distress and death of the people, and confusion in Government.

Flooding in 2001 caused considerable damage to the financial pockets of the farming community, who produce the nations cereal crops in the east of the country (Cambridge, Lincolnshire), which escaped the worst of the Autumn 2000 flooding.

"The country's barley barons" whose wheat crop was once worth "£115 a tonne...is down to £58 from £65...similarly, malting barley was £140 a tonne...is down to £75 per tonne today, due to extensive flooding," The Times, 22 February 2002.

The Sun, a provider of vitamins to the human body has been identified by Government Ministers as a source of the cancer, 'melanoma,' and last year launched a television campaign warning "holiday-makers to cover up in the sun or use high-factor protective skin creams." The 'Sun Safety Code' says, 'A tan may make you feel healthy but it's a sign you skin is being damaged and it will lead to premature aging of the skin."

British Women

As the "Bridget Jones syndrome", impacts upon the lives of women, more 'British' women are tiring of their male counterpart. They are looking down at him in a 'stiletto-trodding' fashion, stepping all over him, and are desirous of not having children.

Traditionally 'British' woman settled down in their twenties, had 2.5 children, and lived in surburbia. Today, according to The Observer (15/4/01) "Record numbers of women aged 30-40 are smoking and drinking heavily and doing no exercise... women are turning to alcohol and cigarettes... and single women [are] becoming more hedonistic."

The Chief medical officer Liam Donaldson, said in The Observer newspaper 9/12/01, "women in their twenties already suffering liver problems" as a result of alcohol consumption are increasing. With British women drinking more alcohol, "cirrhosis of the liver now kills more women than cervical cancer." No age group of women is being spared this devastating illness, where, "once started, it is irreversible."

Consequently as more child-producing women are being killed and are turning to a hedonistic lifestyle of alcohol and sexual gratification, the rate at which children should be produced to prevent depopulation has fallen, such that, "...Only in the last 15 years has a serious risk arisen that the population of Europe may not be reproducing itself... the 'natural change' (the excess of births over deaths)... is now virtually nil," says The Independent on Sunday, Business Edition (13th January 2002).

Alcoholic Children

In a major study by the 'Schools Health Education Unit,' which "surveyed 13,000 children across Britain" it found that "one in four 11-year-old boys has an alcoholic drink at least once a week" and "one in six 11-year-old girls has a weekly drink" of alcohol. (The Observer, 6/1/02)

When parents discovered that their children had been drinking, having been introduced to alcohol consumption at home or by their peers, the parents could not believe "...it was their children," that had been indulging in such activity, The Observer, 6/1/02. One family found that their child was under-performing, having headaches in the morning and constantly tired.

Prostitution

Politically and parentally blind to the effects of 'injustice' the social fabric of this nation is being torn apart as prostitution is becoming more rampant in the society afflicting both adults and children.

According to Tink Palmer, a Policy officer for the children's Charity, Barnardos speaking about male prostitution he said, "The commercial exploitation of boys is the most hidden form of child abuse in Britain and the one about which little is known...it is a huge business growing in size and in seriousness all the time."

Not exclusive to main-land Britain, former 'states' of the former Russian Empire - whose foreign polices during the 50-year 'Cold War' detente, contributed to Africa's destablisation - are being ravaged by a drugs epidemic. Social decay and "prostitution has become...normal among young women." (The Observer 2nd December 2000)

Drugged-Up-students

In education - the fountain for learning subjects for the building of society and the perpetuity of a nation - the nation's children are being destroyed by a drug culture, once the preserve of adults.

In wealthy Hampstead, north London, a leading independent University College school, recently suspended pupils as young as '12' for smoking cannabis. The University College school charges £2,825-a-term, has "’extremely’ high academic standards and last year, 23 percent of sixth-form leavers won places at Oxford or Cambridge" University.

The headmaster Kenneth Durham said, "he was shocked to find out that 12-year-olds have been smoking drugs..." The school "runs an extensive drugs education programme as part of its personal, social, and health programme."

Prince Harry, the third in line to the throne of England, and a member of the 'Royal' household, recently admitted taking Cannabis when he said he, "smoked joints over a two-month period during his school holidays at Highgrove...," (The Sunday Times 13/1/02).

Sparing none, in a study by Professor Howard Parker of Manchester University "into Britain's young people," he found a "five-fold increase in the use of the drug [cocaine], previously the preserve of the rich and famous, among those in higher education."

Cocaine "causes blood pressure to surge...constricts the blood vessels, increasing the risk of a heart attack or a brain haemorrhage. It can cause paranoia, anxiety and other mental health problems," says The Observer (22/4/01).

As deaths in custody of Black people go unpunished, the expulsion of black boys increases, 'racist' Ministers of all political parties speak and show their true colours, and a fascist left and right-wing media reminiscent of Hitler's socio-genocidal media propaganda machine conspire to scape-goat the black community in the UK for the ills and break-down of British society, 'Justice' it seems is wide-awake.

It 'appears' that the 'blind-folds' of justice have been removed and 'She' is striking an alliance with those whose defence and means of retribution for injustice goes unheard in the Corridors of power and in the Courts of Justice.
