Justice Is Truth In Action
People often know the truth of an issue, but sometimes the truth itself is not enough - because what's needed is justice - the truth in action to deliver an outcome or verdict.
Well, that's what The Saville Report finally delivered yesterday - justice for the families who waited for almost 40 years for their loved ones to be finally vindicated.
As the Prime Minister, David Cameron, said in parliament - their killings were 'unjustified and unjustifiable'.
Likewise with equal pay - because people have known the truth about pay discrimination for many a year - but what they really needed (and wanted) was determined action to change things for the better.
The employers knew that they were not facing up to their responsibilities - the trade unions knew they were not standing up for their low paid members.
And council employees knew that they were being badly let down - by the craven behaviour of both the employers and the trade unions.
In some areas councils are still refusing to face up to reality on equal pay - but a measure of justice is now being delivered - as more and more people receive proper settlements of their claims.
Where that is happening - the difference has been made by Action 4 Equality Scotland - because we know that actions speak much louder than words.
