Yo there, Larry. Apropos your reference This might be it
As for 'Who gets to define just*, well, Oh embracer of dark birds, I think it must really have been a hard road all of us have travelled if we have to start defining justice, never mind who is in charge of dispensing it.
British justice was never anything to write home about. And that actually is a fact. According to the European Court of Human Rights it is a fact.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again. For all British people who believe that their legislators can do no wrong, I extend my extreme pity.
For they would willingly go into another's country at their government's behest, and try to subjugate the natives. That the Foreign Policy base of England down through the aeons has been territorial. And expansionist.

Those kind of people who are proud of what their country did, and then who castigate the resistors and call them 'Terrorists' have indeed a strange sense of justice.
If someone, on the other hand, broke into their house, and decided that he could live in the attic and pay rent to the new 'owner', I think his sense of justice may well change. After all there are laws against thing like that, aren't there?
But if the new owner of his house made the laws, and there was no recourse? (rhetorical).

Stay on your sofa, Trevor. Watch your big screen. And don't think about how others have it outside your window. As long as you're all right, you can sat and think whatever you want. You probably still believe in the need for a monarchy and all.
