Mr. Grant refused to see the Medics and was re-presented on 28th May 1999. He told Mr. Justice Buckley why he had refused and he turned and told Mr. Grant, “Mr. Grant the background of your case is extremely tragic. There are many ways in which you can pursue it, go home to your family” Subsequently Mr. Grant tried to get on with his life. However in February 2000 and May 2001 he was employed in the London Borough of Westminster as a Traffic Warden Supervisor. His responsibilities included the issuing of Penalty Charge Notices (PCN’s) and the supervision of others issuing PCN’s. His employers wanted him to engage and encourage others to engage in activity aimed at targeting motorists in order to increase the number of PCN’s and therefore increase revenue. Mr. Grant refused to deliberately target unsuspecting drivers and refused to encourage his team members to do the same. This led to his suspension, and despite the employers’ Lawyers advising them to allow him back to work; dismissed him from employment. As a direct result of the United Kingdom’s failure to afford him the protection of Law, he was unable to take the employers to Court for unfair dismissal. At the time, he have three children within his current relationship and three from a previous marriage, which was destroyed by the State. Mr. Grant’s persecution by the United Kingdom impacted upon his ability to lawfully earn a living which would afford him the dignity to do the best he can towards the welfare of his children. It was at this point Mr. Grant decided that the UK Authorities cannot deny him all protection of Law and still seek to punish him by the same Law. Rebellion was a last recourse against the flagrant abuse, total disregard and contempt of the Rule of Law by the UK and its Judicial Authorities. In fact the United Kingdom has ignored citations from its own Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, who quoted Justice Brandeis of the United States of America who said, over 50 years ago: “In a Government of Laws, existence of the Government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the Law scrupulously. Government is the potent omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. If the Government becomes a Lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the Law and invites every man to become a Law unto himself, it invites anarchy”.
