JUDGES SHOULD BE PLACED ON TRIAL FOR THEIR COMPLICITY WITH MURDER AND TORTURE

Judges should be put on trial for their immoral practice of knowingly consigning 61,000 people to such inhumane conditions, that they descend into mental illness and trauma and harm themselves or are murdered by others. No decent human being could regard this as justice. Perversely, in many cases, the greater crime would have been committed by the powerful, wealthy, advantaged judge sending the detained to his or her torment, suicide or murder. Enough of this pretence and hypocrisy. May judges not sleep at night, nor be left alone by the media, until they ensure that the prisons to which they send the convicted, will ensure their safety and well being and be places where those, who are often the poorest, weakest, most disadvantaged and mentally disturbed in society, can benefit from a benign and restorative environment.

ARCHBISHOP JONATHAN BLAKE - MY LIFE - PART ONE


ARCHBISHOP JONATHAN BLAKE - MY LIFE - PART TWO

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."
