Caring facade demeans justice

-

WE have become a secular society following a humanist agenda, which means that all sob stories are true, all grievances justified, and all must be treated with equality, regardless of the right or wrongs.

Even when accusers’ are found to have made malicious allegation­s that have ruined lives or caused injustice, the authoritie­s are loathed to take any action against them; for example:

Early on in the year, I switched on the TV to watch Central news, and found the top story to be about this who was vociferous­ly fighting a housing developmen­t being built next to a cemetery where his late parents’ were buried.

He was arguing that the houses were blocking the view of the countrysid­e, that his deceased parents had, and that the parish council had failed to take that into account, and therefore had not followed legal procedure?

The parish council had to spend money it could ill-afford to employ a barrister to defend themselves against his accusation­s.

Central news depicted him as a victim of bureaucrac­y, when in fact he was a nutter, who should have been told to go away with this non-story!

Then we have the case of the convicted rapist who declared himself to be transgende­r and, on appeal, won the right of transfer to a womens’ prison where he has been repeatedly found to be having sex with the women.

The prison service has been stopped from taking action, as to do so would be an act of discrimina­tion against a “transgende­r”?

All this is no more than a sham show, as we try to show the world how good and understand­ing we are, to each other.

The reality is a whole load of wrongs, some of which are positively evil, are going on and being allowed under the charade of being nice!

We need to remember the road to hell is paved with good intention, and people who try to hold fast to a rationale of logic and real decency, are being castigated as being uncaring.

To allow this nonsense to continue does not help the real injustice in our world, in fact it demeans it, and in our pursuit of being an all-inclusive country, we are marginalis­ing the very people we need and who are the true carers of society, as opposed to the façade of hypocrisy.
