WHY ARE UK JUDGES ABOVE THE LAW? AN UNTOUCHABLE QUESTION
As another general election approaches, the key players in British politics are only too anxious to discuss and debate every topic under the sun, with one notable exception – Judges, Court or Tribunal Cases, Miscarriages of Justice or simply, Unfair Treatment of Citizens at the hands of Judges
The three main political leaders owe the inhabitants of the United Kingdom an Obligation to discuss or debate the issues of injustice being done every hour of the day to Senior citizens, i.e. Pensioners and to a wide audience of vulnerable groups in different parts of the United Kingdom.
Yes, it is true that the United Kingdom is a very wealthy nation but there is poverty in the UK, too. In fact, poverty in the UK is on a Tsunami scale.
There are many problems facing the UK. It is not just a problem of economic meltdown. The English legal system is the primary cause of most of the problems that the country faces.
The issue of law reform should be uppermost in the minds of politicians. Yes, we have the Law Commission and brilliant people working for the Commission but are those Commissioners doing enough to overhaul the system?
The English legal system is punitive. There is no other description. Law Reform is long overdue.Just as the family is the bedrock of a Nation, the legal system is the bedrock of democracy.
In light of the fact that we have too many laws, in any event, on the Statute Book, there is hardly any politician in the Houses of Parliament who knows which law is which law.
The Civil Service has a role to play in upholding the integrity of the Nation State but many civil servants see themselves as Civil Masters, and, of course, knowing full that a desk in the Civil Service, is a Job for Life, we have situation after situation in the UK where civil servants break their own Code with impunity.
The four core principles that underpin every civil servant's work are - Integrity, Honesty, Objectivity, Impartiality. How many civil servants know about these things? The answer is, only those in Division One
Paradoxically, our Judges depend on civil servants to do justice. It is quite obvious that many of our Judges cannot do justice to a given cause of action without the support of, or input by civil servants.
I have to remind the three political leaders of the words once spoken by Alfred Tennyson: "Whatever good I can do, let me do it now, for I shall only pass this way but once" We are, each and everyone, in one huge Ship - we are passing by.
It is worth noting that when some important people leave office then, they go into Human Rights business; then, they start talking about just how unfair the "system", etcetera, etcetera.
But why didn't they do some good in the name of Human Rights when they they were in high office?
