is 100 today!
So from my seat here on the 5th floor I salute you! Everyday I look upon the the statue of justice, (a woman (without a blindfold), holding in her right hand a sword standing for the power to punish, and in her left hand a balance standing for equity) and hope for some!
Preferably against my neighbours.

Are you sure she is not wearing a blindfold? I thought Justitia always did?
Justitia has frequently been depicted as a bare-breasted woman carrying a sword and scales, and sometimes wearing a blindfold. But the lady atop the Old Bailey does not!!
Check it out on Wikipedia...!!
Bare breasted woman, this is all a bit much wouldnt you say?
Still justice for all is hard to sniff at isnt it.
