“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
Grand Jury
Bring back the Grand Jury for independent government scandals.
Especially ones like The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, after Baroness Butler-Sloss (July 2014), Fiona Woolf (Sept—Oct 2014), Dame Lowell Goddard (Feb 2015—Aug 2016) having very close connections to organisations or individuals who are being investigated. They felt they have to step down. With the appointment of Alexis Jay (Aug 2016 to date) did reaffirm faith in the system for many people especially with her previous work in Rotherham South Yorkshire.
Unfortunately, though this issue goes to the head of the snake. So only a pure independent Grand Jury would have any chance in slaying it.
