Fractured Society: The UK, the Relativity of Law, and a New Bill of Rights
A. Millar writes in the Brussels Journal:
The majority of British laws are now made in the EU, a body that shares with Labour a vision of the future that is modern yet unclear, and the pathway to which appears to be an increase in rights and the specificities of rights, countering the established tradition. As David Green (CIVITAS) says in his crime reduction manifesto, “Many Labour MPs remain in thrall to utopian theories of human nature and believe that criminals are driven to commit offences by social exclusion. They are not really responsible - it’s society that should change.” (…)
Laws introduced by Labour have reflected its own vision of a future Britain, based, as they are, on its ill-conceived ideology of “muticulturalism,” which has broken the notion of law as something that aids the good of society, applying to all, equally, as ‘a society.’ (…)
The establishment of a radical multicultural ideology has fractured British society, given rise to moral and legal relativism, and thus – although not the only factor – has facilitated a sharp rise in antisocial behavior and violent crime, with criminals no longer afraid of the law. Moreover, multiculturalism has dangerously allowed no dissent. The British public is disengaged from society and politics; voting is at all time low, and membership of the Labour and Conservative parties has declined sharply in recent years.
