• A Juvenal Satire ~ Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

• Court of Appeal ~ Rampant Corruption Out of Control; 

• The ‘Performers’ mired in corruption at the UK Court of Appeal;

‘The Satires’ are a collection of satirical poems by the Latin author Juvenal written in the early 2nd century.

As an author, given the hilarious stupidity which prevails within the Judiciary and with some of its Registry staff at the UK Court of Appeal, Juvenal would have had a field day satirically illustrating  the blatant criminality at the Forum of the Court of Appeal.

Indeed he might be driven to ask using one of his favoured quotes in his native tongue Latin, ‘Quis coustodiet ipsos custodes’, (Who guards the guardians)?

There are those today, as the criminality at the Court of Appeal slides into chaos who might encourage those who allegedly control this miasma of corruption to Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano,(pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body), if only to survive the storm of opprobrium, of their making, which is about to overwhelm them.

Repeatedly the Bugler has warned those with corrupt hands who intended to maliciously  touch the Firefighters’ case for Justice to thoughtfully reflect before they do so. But in their arrogance of power they believe as the husbanders of the ‘Law’ that they themselves are above it; all to their personal cost. Time and again the Bugler has and will continue to demonstrate otherwise.

The disabled Firefighters and their Beneficiaries seek no advantage, nor should they be granted any. Only enforcement of  the Statute Law whether it be for, or against, them. That is what Justice is…

But before leaving the satirical Juvenal, he had one delicious quote… this situation would remind him of a group of lost sailors (Hooray Henry lamplighters to a man) ‘sculling their way to a mountain top’…

And in case anyone thinks, in that which follows, that this is ‘Contempt of Court’, it is better written Contempt for Court in this democratic state of the UK; a contempt shared with no less than by the incumbent Prime Minister.

Next we ought to look at the ‘players’, as in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta , and as the lyric says ‘bring on the clowns’, but they are already here…

The Bugler and his comrades have for over one year now attempted to access Justice, firstly at the UK Court of Chancery, and lately at the UK Court of Appeal where as usual we have been given the ‘run around’.

But as a former farmer the Bugler might say… ‘Long runs the fox’, meaning eventually someone, or all, will get their ‘comeuppance’.

We naively thought that we had made it to a place of  UK legal sanctuary, nay sanity, where like Belfast and its Royal Courts of Justice we would be treated with respect and dignity; we earned it.

A policy which is supported in the UK with their little light tome which spouts about how the Judiciary will treat Litigants-in-Person (LiP); needless to say it is just so much hot air and cant; but if you must, Go Here.

This tome from 2012 has never been reviewed so LiPs cannot be all that important to the Judiciary in these changing times, can they?

Now while we are dwelling on this theme of respect and dignity and how LiPs are to be treated here is a interesting but simple study on how Judges of all ranks are to behave themselves.

The Bugler reminds the Readership that what is lacking with his and his comrades dealings with the Court of

Appeal is fairplay, decency, and humanity; all to be tossed aside in the brass necked pursuit of corruption, lack of integrity, and plain old chicanery.

The Judges’ ‘Guiding Light’ on the law and more importantly the spirit of the law and morality was amended in 2020 and a simple search of this document reveals the use of the word “honest(y)” in just one word of the 7,749 words used, to be found on Page 7 of 20 pages, and even that is hedged with equivocation.

In that it states, as you will see,… “Intellectual honesty”…

What exactly does this mischievous play on words, a fudge, actually mean?

Does this playing with words mean; that these Judges only have to think they are being honest for their corrupt actions to pass muster with themselves and more importantly the Court in which they sit ?

These 20 pages could so easily be re-written…

“A Judge shall at all times conduct him/herself with profound honesty; transparent integrity; and human decency ” .

Something which the Bugler and his comrades have yet to see at the UK Court of Appeal.

For the existing poor man’s version. Go Here.

He lives in his Ivory tower with a telescope aka ‘Nelson’ Butler of infamy. In other words he chooses to see what he wants to see; a little like the three Wise Monkeys….

Next we will run the time line back to the advent of Mrs Justice Falk; Mr. Justice Fancourt; the erst while departed, but not beyond the reach of the Law (in fact they might reflect none are), the ‘retired’ former Master of the Rolls Etherton and Mr. Cobourn a Civil Servant at the CoA Registry Office, an accomplished manipulator, or so he thinks, but he will find that Court ‘procedures’ work both ways; we have dealt with better.
He will also find it an expensive ‘career’ choice…

But next for a detailed look at all the ‘Performers’ both Judicial and Political in this drama,… “How to Survive the Titanic”… Go Here.
