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. |
