People in the United Kingdom have, or seem to have, a naive, belief that there is a "justice" system in existence.
I hold a different view.
There are what I'll call "legal processes" in existence which are different in Scotland from those in England and Wales.
But, in my view at least, there is no system that can accurately be called a "justice" system, in the sense that it reliably acquits the innocent and convicts the guilty.
There are, in my view, serious failings that preclude the current Legal Processes System ever fairly being called a "justice" system. In other words, the systems are not fit for purpose.
More seriously, there is a growing body of evidence indicating that components of the Legal Processes System act so as to conceal crime, when it suits those individuals or suits the purposes of the State.
The public concerns about a possible Police conspiracy among officers of South Yorkshire Police to conceal or mitigate their culpability with regard to the Hillsborough Disaster has resulted in an investigation managed by the so-called Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Will it discover all the truth? I very much doubt it. Time will tell.
The IPCC-managed investigation cannot achieve "justice". It will not, for example, ever be able to punish any culpability by the late Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police, Peter Wright. Mr, Wright, so I understand, died in 2011 unpunished.
The causes for major concern are not limited to historical situations like the Hillsborough Disaster.
Senior Police officers continue today to conceal serious crime.
In this blog I will progressively put into the public domain evidence that leads me to conclude that senior officers in Thames Valley Police and the Metropolitan Police Service have perverted the course of justice with the effect of preventing the proper investigation of serious crimes including suspected murder
When senior Police officers fail or refuse to investigate serious reported crime there is very serious cause for concern.
The failings or dishonesty of senior Police Officers in Thames Valley Police and the Metropolitan Police Service will be one line of evidence that I will follow in this blog.
A Criminal State indeed. In the United Kingdom.
The causes for major concern are not limited to the actions or failings of Police officers.
Complacency, incompetence, failure of perspective or dishonesty also, in my view at least, come into play. Areas of concern include the Crown Prosecution Service, forensic pathologists, the judiciary and the Attorney General's Office.
If, for example, the Attorney General's Office had acted in a different way the Hillsborough families would have been closer to the truth years ago.
The failings in the Attorney General's Office could have taken the Hillsborough families closer to justice years ago. It failed to do that. The Attorney General's Office caused years of avoidable pain and distress to the Hillsborough familes.
The issues I'll consider on this blog aren't trivial, nor are they simple.
In future posts I'll explore how the defects in the system and defects in the competence or honesty of individuals in the Police and other components of the Legal Processes System lead to denial of truth and denial of justice.
