Agism has a detrimental effect on older people which needs addressing to ensure fair treatment without discrimination. Language, a powerful tool in shaping views and reflecting public attitudes and perceptions, can also form barriers that prevent people of every age from assimilation into society generally: for example, stereotyping elderly people who live independently and possess all their mental faculties as vulnerable adults. [Derogation]
The term "pensioner" frequently used to describe retired people in itself promotes a discriminatory stereotype. It defines older people as non-participatory and typifies them as a drain on the economy. This promotes attitudes of either pity or condescension when elderly people continue to work full-time for the public good after decades of experience and education.

"Justice be to none denied or delayed" which forms the core of legal jurisprudence. |

King John of England authorized preparation of copies of Magna Carta on parchment under duress. Affixed with his seal, he had them publicly read throughout the realm. By that, he bound not only himself but his "heirs, forever" to grant "to all freemen of our kingdom" the rights and liberties the great charter described.
The Journalist has yet to see whether The Rt Revd Graham James, Bishop of Norwich will place himself in the same category and expeditiously process the alleged crimes and gross diplomatic misconduct committed by his protégé, former HM Consul David C Broom, or whether the hoi polloi will have to drag Graham James to Runnymede.
King John placed himself and England's future sovereigns, lawyers and enforcement authorities within the rule of law - except for Roy Martin Mincoff (In-house solicitor, National Union of Journalists), Antony Townsend (Chief Executive Officer, Solicitors Regulation Authority) and John Norton (Legal Services Ombudsman for England and Wales) among others who have played a shell game to evade their responsibility to provide fair and unbiased hearings.

Laws require public officials to avoid discrimination by their acts and expressions that cause offence or encourage prejudice; however, insincerity applies among many of them when they encounter elderly people. They claim to respect the elderly by giving them lip service then act without any real conviction.
Gerontological studies emphasize the social and behavioral aspects of aging and commonly define old age as beginning at age 65. Those studies address the treatment of seniors and how they themselves deal with the inevitable problems of aging, particularly issues involving health and income.
Recent studies of elder abuse committed by executive and elected officials took into account biological, psychological, and sociological phenomena associated with old age and aging. They discovered that class discrimination in an aging democratic society does not necessarily relate to rank or money but more to race and age bias.
|
Incidents which officials deliberately neglect to address indicate the need for an independent ombudsman to investigate complaints or reports of age abuse then publicly report the findings. Independent mediation of fair settlements between aggrieved elderly people and officials who manipulate them by virtue of their age can help mitigate damage and discourage others from acting the same way. The present bureaucracy epitomizes anarchy and grievance procedures support kangaroo courts and dumb insolence.
The incidence of delaying process to deny justice and evade responsibility properly to investigate age discrimination issues has drastically increased by use of a number of evasive ploys supported by technology. The most common disgrace relates to delay of process to such an extent that an expected decision exceeds normal life expectancy. Executives take a gamble on death to evade their responsibility in law to act expeditiously then call it “risk management”.

National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has solicitors facing complaints with Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for age discrimination by withholding member services and gross professional misconduct during the past decade. SRA has adopted similar kafkaesque delaying tactics to those used by NUJ with their members in the SRA investigation of the NUJ solicitors. [Kafka]

John Norton, Legal Services Ombudsman charged with investigating incompetent or deliberately subversive actions by SRA executives states that he cannot proceed with an appeal until SRA makes a decision. That decision should have taken about 30 days to make; however, Antony Townsend and his bevy of bimbos have not properly investigated the complaint although two years have elapsed since the filing. Arguably, they rely upon a kick-the-bucket catch-22 that they deliberately created and now await the Journalist’s demise.
Cuan Gibson, Team Manger, SRA Conduct Investigation Unit made arbitrary assertions that no professional misconduct by the solicitors named in the complaint ever took place without investigating the complaint. He also stated that in-house solicitors do not act for the members (who incidently pay their salaries) another statement without substantiation.
Gibson then threatened the Journalist that: “. . . the SRA would strongly advise you to consider carefully the contents of any statements you make about members of the SRA or LCS staff on any web site or in any press release as we will not hesitate to take appropriate action where defamatory statements are made” before a word had been spoken or written which classifies as a preemptive prior restraint.
His behavior warrants submission for independent, public, or court inquiry into events and actions relative to his dereliction in handling the complaint. He has made arbitrary legal determinations as an unqualified solicitor to cover up the incompetence of SRA staff by using threats which will soon become a public concern and form part of the petition for a public inquiry.
[Petition for Public Inquiry] [The Law Society - SRA Preamble]
The Journalist recently filed an IPCC complaint in a case involving alleged threats of grievous bodily harm by Christopher Graham Wheal an NUJ officer. That complaint prompted Detective Inspector Jennifer Di Fabio, MPS (Lewisham) to respond within two days after stonewalling a promised criminal investigation for three months. She has still not investigated the charges filed five months ago

Will you piss off with your inane ramblings. My nephew was killed in a tragic accident on Tuesday and all I get is wank from you. Now take me off your email list, or better still, fuck off and die you complete and utter tosser*. One more peep from you and if I bring harassment charges you'll be lucky. I find you personally I'll fucking break your legs. [sic] Christopher Graham Wheal, NUJ Officer. |

This reprobate describes himself as a journalist and writing instructor. *tosser. A derogatory term for a stupid, irritating, or ridiculous person.

Court rules do not allow arbitrary or general denial (denying all allegations in a complaint). Di Fabio did not genuinely interpret the complaint or associated statutes. Both Di Fabio and Gibson violated independent investigation procedures and effectively obstructed due process of law to delay and deny justice by arbitrarily denying all allegations in complaints.
This particular merry-go-round has now lasted for more than a decade although the complainant still works a full day and has good mental and physical health for a septuagenarian. They forget that the official to whom they hold ultimate responsibility, Kenneth Clarke QC, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, also holds similar septuagenarian credentials.
Set aside for the moment employee incompetence, and either dumb or verbal insolence used to elderly members of the public as a cover-up for their inadequacy. Principals also neglect to accept their responsibility for whatever occurs in their office and use the actions of employees as an excuse for their own negligence or malfeasance.
This redefines the old adage: if a chief executive wants to fudge the company accounts, then he employs a bookkeeper who suffers from dyscalculia (impaired ability to add numbers). That gives him an excuse when he later faces criminal charges for fraud. In modern vernacular, that Machiavellian behavior has a cover in the term “risk management”.
A common ploy by executives relates to withholding documents or rendering them inadmissible in a court of law by using low-level staff members as proxies to sign them. They also repeatedly send undated correspondence without a signature or letterhead which has no significance for legal purposes. The misuse of electronic communication has now reached unacceptable proportions in pretrial legal process.

Another example, Washington Court of Appeals. Mary Kay Becker, Chief Judge, Division 1, Court of Appeals, State of Washington wrote an outrageously biased opinion to which her two sheep on the bench bleated “we concur”. The court procrastinated and manipulated court rules for three years then waited another seven months after oral argument to make a decision - obvious attempts to delay then deny justice for an elderly person. David C Broom, HM Consul, despite repeated requests to act, neither responded to nor challenged the kafkaesque judicial behavior. [Kafka]
Becker then buried her fudged finding in an unpublished opinion (which cannot be used as a precedent in other cases) which contained deliberately inaccurate statements, smacked of political expediency and begged challenge in a higher court. After five years of justice delay to justice deny tactics in lower courts, Washington Supreme Court concluded that trial and appellate courts had abused their discretion in jailing and torturing the Journalist.
In a unanimous decision by nine judges, supreme court concluded that trial court erred in multiple findings of contempt of court which resulted in torture and solitary confinement and restored the Journalist’s First Amendment privileges. It reversed draconian trial and appellate decisions by both courts.

That reversal did not return the four months of the Journalist’s life spent under the most appalling conditions while deprived of medication and subject to torture; however, jail reaffirmed his belief as a writer in truth and sincerity. It taught him how to understand the other prisoners and the delusional judges that jailed them. It persuaded him not to change anything as a result of evil or harmful decisions by malevolent judges and consuls who must learn that coercion does not work with literate, intelligent elderly people.

Broom effectively received a dismissal from his post as consul during July 2004 shortly after the Becker appellate decision (a hearing which Broom neglected to attend). Seven years later Broom has neither accounted for his inaction nor faced a public inquiry for his abuse of rights of an elderly UK national who suffered solitary confinement, torture and a heart attack through Broom’s dereliction. Ten years later, the faulty decisions exacerbated by Broom have still not received due process of a committee in the House of Commons and await the concern of a member of the House of Lords with integrity (if one exists).
Tyrants have traditionally used elaborate procedures and ceremonies to make their exercise of power acceptable to the public while simultaneously denying due process of law. They use independent judicial systems along lines generally accepted in law. However, a closer look at those systems shows that administrators absolutely control them by simultaneously assuming the roles of prosecution, defense, judge, and jury under the guise of "risk management protocols" to hide the "kangaroo court" stigma.
Star Chamber proceedings were used to enforce royal prerogative in the seventeenth century. UK government and quasi-government agencies now operate "risk management" policies in a similar way. They deny due process of law by using kangaroo courts under the politically correct title of “disciplinary committee meetings” then make biased determinations for political expedience. The term “kangaroo court” describes a quasi-legal proceeding characterized by dishonesty or incompetence set up in violation of established law to either delay or deny justice. Participants assume the roles of prosecution, judge, and jury in a kafkaesque manner. [Kafka]
The use of kangaroo courts, and time-warp strategies to defend them, effectively gags complainants from challenging politically-motivated prosecution and decision-making. In the case of elderly people it has become a means of prolonging and condoning those unlawful activities until they die.
None of these "tribunals" have substance in law yet they make decisions despite lack of evidence. They then use their findings to bring political retribution upon complainants and whistle-blowers to cover up their own unlawful activities and, by that, repeatedly delay justice then deny it.
Procrastination allows officials to evade issues that they find politically distasteful. By using a combination of laissez faire, appeasement, and "kill-the-messenger" techniques, they cause a greater disconnect between government and the public than would naturally exist. Then more officials adopt anarchistic attitudes.
Bureaucrats generate casual observations by anonymous people that have no value whatever to delay then deny justice. They obscure issues by using asserted constructs too abstract to test that can only define as vague theory or untestable hypotheses not open to discussion.
They estimate the time frame within which they can expect the death of their adversary to occur then procrastinate and deny due process of law until his demise. They hope that his death will relieve them of their duty of care toward him. Free of that responsibility they can selfishly meet their own political agendas at public expense which do not include anyone more than five years their senior.
In the case in question, several physical assaults and grievous bodily harm threats have occurred for publishing this and other articles that expose their illegal and immoral activities. The Journalist, who lived in the US for 45 years, often said a few decades ago that whatever happened negatively in US happened in UK twenty years later. Now it happens twenty days later.
