Establishment bad behaviour weakens rule of law
John Ozimek
Lies, spin and establishment contempt for the rules by which the rest of the population are meant to live, are nothing new.
It is just possible, however, that the last few weeks have been a tipping point, with large swathes of the population now questioning just why they should adhere to the letter of the law when others don’t. More seriously, if this resentment spills over into active disobedience, then for a while at least, the British population may become just that bit less governable – with all the implications that may have for added costs of law enforcement.
