Over the past few years we’ve had many stories of troops
committing atrocities, the police manufacturing evidence, politicians and the
media conniving against the public interest in favour of their own, wholesale
child abuse in the Church, teachers being prosecuted for accessing child
pornography… not to mention a Prime Minister blatantly lying to Parliament to
obtain a vote in favour of going to war, and then sacking the whistle blowers
instead of resigning himself.
I’m sure there’s nothing new here, I’m sure it isn’t the
complete picture, and I’m sure it isn’t only happening in Britain. I
think there’s just a bit of crumbling going on, and maybe now people will begin
exercising a little circumspection with regard to the amount of faith they
implicitly place in Establishment figures.
