Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

The rule of law has delivered:

Profiteering
Poverty
Poor housing
Low wages/pensions
Queues for hospital appointments
Premature death to many
Sewage in rivers
Cuts in spending on essential services
Closure of libraries, community centres.

Whose law, who rules? Govts appease corporations/rich.
