This is a judge in law.  The reason I have used equality in different colours is because equality is not equal between the North and South and that’s why the colours are different.  If equality was equal we would all be the same colour. 

In society today in all ways, in family law like, it is not equal. Men are treated on a different basis and it is not equality at all, not equality at all.  In family law, it’s totally different – for the man it is totally different.    The judge doesn’t really listen. I have been in family law situation as well because of my disability, not able to speak when the judge was summing up his thing. He said “Luke didn’t give a good impression of himself so I’ll write him off.”  So that is one thing which needs to be listened to. 

There’s a lot of people out there that don’t understand.  Like solicitors. Solicitors use big words and there is no point hitting you with big words if you don’t, you know.  Yes, just because they can’t read and understand that doesn’t mean that you should write you off. That’s what they did to me. 

You are afraid.  Why you are frightened is, my literacy problem, is if I come out and speak to it about Mary [literacy tutor], it gives you more confidence you’re not afraid.  I was there [in court] and didn’t know what to do, and frightened of the judge.

The reason I used the white thing [in the representation of the judge] is there’s white [wig].  When you see Solicitors and Barristers in their robes, that’s what frightens you more.  So that frightens you more and that gives them more power over. You see them in that and think they’re sending a message to you, even before they go into court, that they have a power over you even before you go into court.
