I think that one of the fundamental principles of civilisation is
equality of all under the law. That seems to be collapsing rapidly in
the West. The law is becoming a weapon to support those in power and
victimise the rest of the population. The police and courts also
become weapons to support the powerful. If a senior judge offends
them, they appoint a more cooperative one.

When the law of the land is corrupted in this fashion, a time of great
trouble looms ahead.
