I refer to a recent letter from Mr Upton regarding
the Speculative Society.
Whilst such organisations and societies may well
discuss varied topics of general public interest, there is also a general public
perception, they unduly influence some aspects of public life, including the
justice system. My personal observations of the justice system over the last
five years certainly support this perception. In my opinion, this problem is in
part derived from a general lack of accountability, transparency and consistency
relating to the decision making processes of the justice system. Until these
perceptions are addressed in a meaningful way, the scottish justice system will
continue to be viewed by many as an elitist private club run at times for the
benefit of its members.
