I believe in Justice for all.
Justice should not only be done but should be seen to be done.
The Justice System is for all, but it`s only as good and as strong as we make it.
And - Justice delayed is Justice denied!

Defend the BBC with everything you have.

We know how it’s been infiltrated by Tory political appointees but it’s OURS. It’s the only independent media we have left. That’s why they want to destroy it.

How hypocritical!
British journalist Isabel Oakeshott is infamous for speaking out against migrants, refugees &asylum seekers online. When it comes to the Great British Debate, this is something she can only do online at the moment, because she’s a migrant herself (specifically to Dubai)
