The law, Britain and slavery

Dear Diary,

When I first signed up for this job I do now (unskilled labour) I discerned quite quickly that the managers on salary earn less - per hour - than those on the shop floor. When I mentioned this to another employer (at a gig our Old Time band had a residency at), the proprietor said that, ‘It’s not the money, it’s the prestige of being a manager’. The same applies to the law in this - God forsaken, formerly mighty and proud - nation. Junior criminal barristers earn less than people that work wiping old folks’ arses or cleaning the gunk out of pans. In what country, 2022, do lawyers earn less than toilet attendants? Dark Age Britain, is what country.

Being a lawyer is a tough job. It requires years of training and study. Lawyers also have a great deal of vicarious trauma to deal with. What kind of a state pays lawyers less than people that do unskilled labour? A broken state, is what.

During the course of my study of the law I have learnt two things. (1) The only country in the Council of Europe which does not abide by the European Convention on Human Rights (1950) is Britain, apart from one: Russia. (2) The only country in the whole European continent which uses the ‘first past the post’ voting system is Britain, apart from one: Belarus. Besides these anti-democratic and anti-humanitarian realities, what do Britain, Russia and Belarus all have in common? They all launder mafia money through the City of London via offshore tax havens, thus draining the economy of its strength and facilitating criminal enterprises. Britain, Russia and Belarus, are all really on the same side: at least in terms of the élites running each country. This is the reality. This is what’s actually going down. If you would like evidence of this very real fact, then I would point you towards the following threads. Firstly, page 21 of the following article:

Foster, S. & Foster, S. (2022) ‘Reforming the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Bill of Rights Bill 2022’, Coventry Law Journal, vol.27 issue 1, pp.1-21. Available at the Coventry Law Journal on-line: https://publications.coventry.ac.uk/index.php/clj/article/view/866 (accessed October 31st, 2022).

Mortimer, J. (2021) ‘“The future is going to be negotiated, not dictated”: Labour figures speak out for PR’, The Electoral Reform Society: https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/the-future-is-going-to-be-negotiated-not-dictated-labour-figures-speak-out-for-pr/ (accessed November 17th, 2022).

For further evidence it is worth consulting the literature about the Panama Papers and also the work of the investigative journalist Oliver Bullough.

Britain is a nation of slaves. This is the reality. It pretends not to be, and pretends very well, but in actual fact, once the facade is seen through, and the deeds of the élite are exposed for what they are (remember, Britain’s two biggest exports are (1) ‘financial services’ [money laundering], and (2) the arms trade - Britain has been running guns between here and Spain since at least the sixteenth century, or so I learnt at university while studying medieval and modern history) this is what this country thrives on: crime and murder. Anyone that thinks that Britain honours its word, or is for peace, or good will, had better think again.

I’ll give you just one example. I have a friend, a political writer, and he was invited to London to speak with a banker, a speculator on currencies, about doing some work for him. My friend did the work, then mused to a colleague about when he might be paid for doing the work. His colleague replied that, “Oh, that’s how it’s always is with [said banker]. It’s like getting blood out of a stone.” This man has billions, and billions, and billions of pounds, but won’t part with even one… single… penny. Not one. For work which he himself had commissioned. This is how Britain operates. It pretends to do business, but in actual fact, it is a nation of thieves. The fact is, the harder you work, the more you study, the better a person you become (in terms of being considerate, kind hearted and mindful), the worse off you become, so long as you live in Dark Age Britain.
