News and Thoughts #Sir Brian Leveson

Recent events are providing plenty of opportunities for people to walk straight into traps. The deception and manipulation is thick and heavy especially around Trial by Jury.

There is a general recognition amongst the people and the judiciary, that this prerogative is a protection for and by the people against unconstitutional, unjust or oppressive legislation - so why can we not see that it is absurd, illogical or possibly even a dastardly sleight of hand to suggest that this protection be legislated away - that the government can legislate away the people’s protection against immoral or unjust legislation!

It is astonishing enough that people in various parts of our governing system believe it is their job and right to decide the limits of our birthright, but the level of arrogance and presumptuousness displayed here in thinking that the people, whose constitution it is, should be the last to hear about it is simply jaw-dropping.
