Bishops to Queen's pawn 1

Follow @JohnPlatinumG On Sunday, the first Sunday I have not been working for weeks, Father Oliver Coss, was compelled, as were all other Anglican priests, to read out a letter from Catholic Bishops, which I confess (and it's the only confession the church will get out of me) raised my hackles and disturbed me for the rest of an inordinately long mass. The content began by aiming to draw the church back to the dark old days when church and monarch were inextricably linked. Let me remind people it was this kind of mentality that led to the Birmingham Riots of 1791.

The letter then went on to oppose the ordination of women priests. Please, the church has to move with the times. To my mind the great bonus of ordaining women priests and bishops, especially after Sunday's missive, is that there is a chance of getting rid of the fuddy-duddy old flatulents that put this letter together. Let's get one or two things into perspective. Women in the church have as much right to female counsel as men have to male counsel. Our monarch, who it appears these traditionalists are pleased to have as head of the church, is a woman. So the head of the Church of England can be a woman, but not priests and bishops. This misplaced misogyny of, I hope, a couple of handfuls of bishops cannot be tolerated in a progressive church. And if the church is not progressive it will alienate people, and I will be one of those alienated.

The Queen is the head of the Church of England. But she is no more a God than the Emperor Claudius or Rodrigo Borgia. Neither are bishops. Enough said!

Rough, tough, I've had enough justice

Follow @JohnPlatinumG The law-courts of the world should be dismantled and anarchy should rule!

There is an excellent argument for anarchy ruling since the legal institutions of the world are there simply to protect the interests of one section of society - the super-rich, neo-con, Zionist elite. Good people are in western prisons because of this injudicious system of law.

Bradley Manning, who allegedly leaked the footage of US military operatives opening fire on and killing  unarmed civilians, is in prison for allegedly revealing the truth to the world. Babar Ahmed, beaten up by British police, has been in prison for 8 years and now faces extradition to the most corrupt country on God's earth. Julian Assange, to whom the whole world should be thankful for his Wikileaks - the only source of accurate information - is now in danger of being extradited to Sweden on trumped-up charges. Sweden will sell him to their Yankee masters to try and plug the leak in Wikileaks and gag Assange himself.

We pay these overfed judges huge amounts of taxpayers money to make it as difficult as possible for honest people. Take the Assange case just heard in a British court. In the laugh-a-minute report from this case, Assange versus the Swedish Prosecution Authority, which finds in favour of the latter, there is the following paragraph:

“Everyone arrested or detained in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 1(c) of this article shall be brought promptly before a
judge or other officer authorised by law to exercise judicial power
and shall be entitled to trial within a reasonable time…”


So how has this kind of justice been applied to Babar Ahmed in this country, and Bradley Manning in the US?
