IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS - AN ACCOUNT OF LIVES IMPACTED BY 'EVERYDAY ADVERSITIES.' PART 34.

And the extent to which we have succeeded in assimilating them into our subsequent experiences and move on with our lives.'


Of course, nothing could dislodge from Mzaliwa's psche his knowledge of the well-established statistical fact of the British criminal justice system being institutionally racist.  

In the comparative justice it metes out Britons of colour. 

And yes, it is true that it is not exceptional in this ignominious achievement. 

It can also be found in other fields of British society, deals with British citizens of colour over whose livelihoods and lives they have and exercise authority. 

Common knowledge as that is, the Judge's denial of it and, he would have argued, its irrelevance to his court and adjudication over Kazaliwa's liberty.
