BLACK LIVES MATTER - REMEMBER GEORGE STINNEY JR, THAT AMERICA EXECUTED, AT 14, FOR BEING BLACK - LEAVE COLSTON'S STATUE IN THE HARBOUR

George Stinney Jr was just a 14 year old boy, innocent, murdered for being black, by the state, on the electric chair, with no reliable evidence against him. He had to sit on a bible because he was too small to reach the 2,400 volts that would surge through his young body, destroying his life. Tears streamed down his face. Over 70 years later, his conviction was overturned as a miscarriage of justice. BLACK LIVES MATTER. Leave Colston's statue in the harbour. Don't charge those responsible. Priti Patel, don't describe its removal as "utterly disgraceful". What is disgraceful is the systemic injustice, violence and criminality directed historically and presently towards the black community. Don't pretend that democratic means are the only route to change. Years of campaigning in Bristol for the statue's removal has been fobbed off by the white controllers and their self serving systems, as now they try to scramble to invoke those same tired and flawed means of domination. The harbour is the verdict on white prevarication, vested interest and oppression. There needs to be a revolution of understanding, whereby a new world can emerge, where reparations are made for past white plundering, where power, wealth and advantage are equitably shared, where we can all live in harmony and mutual respect.

I AM PROUD OF MY WRITING, FOR JESUS’S SAKE, THAT HAS HAD ME FOUND INNOCENT IN HEAVEN, BUT TWICE A CRIMINAL ON THE EARTH. THE FIRST IN 1990 WHEN I WROTE A BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN PEACEFUL PROTEST ABOUT THE BOMBING OF YOUNG IRAQI RECRUITS DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. THE SECOND, IN 2016 WHEN I WROTE ON MY BLOG, TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PAEDOPHILE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP HIM HAVING ACCESS TO CHILDREN. THERE WAS ALMOST A THIRD! IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE  CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED  TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS,  IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.

"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth in the face of suppression and oppression is truly an act of a pure heart."
