I heard on the radio today a discussion about the public trust in the police following these Lawrence revelations.
I, for one, certainly no longer trust them and would treat them completely cynically should I ever have a need to contact them.
It is evident, for me anyway, that in the Lawrence case the peelers spied on the family to get some juicy wrongs they could pass on to their chums in the Murdoch press to denigrate the family, in order to lessen the impact of the police's inherent racialism, so far as the public is concerned.
It's a real disgrace, of course. But that's the nature of the whole crooked world in which we live today.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
