No Justice, No Peace

Who, exactly, is being forced to wear a poppy? That could not be done without the commission of the offence of common assault. But even with that commission, it would be interesting to hear of a specific case.


Both the left-wing and the traditional-conservative opponents of the wars of the present century need to remember that both of our traditions understand that justice is prior to peace, and that justice always necessitates some kind of struggle against injustice, which can take the form of a war under certain very exceptional circumstances.

That Her Majesty's Justices maintain the Queen's Peace is precisely because there is, and there can be, "No Justice, No Peace".
