Days in Europa

Something occured to me the other day when I was explaining why Brexit to my boss.

I saw the connection between Brexit and the actions of Hungary and Poland, in that those two countries and the UK didn't want to be tied to EU rule of law, in that it is linked to human and workers rights.

The uses that the other two countries might be more extreme, but the actions of the UK Government isn't quite so bombastic, but there is talk by JRM of lowering various rights, Judges have been called "enemies of the people", there is talk although no reason for the revamp of Judicial Review, the right to protest and of free assembly, Parliament is sidelined as Ministers have learned to love the use of Statuatory Instruments, being able to pass laws with the stroke of a pen or keystroke on a computer, all without anyone having the ability to question it.

Government knows best, although one law for you and no laws for us has been exposed, of course.

And all done in the name of "the people".

Cheered on by a populist press, owned by tax-avoiding billionaires, only too happy to advise the PM how to spend what taxes it does collect.

Power for power's sake so far.

But where will it end?

That is the question
