It is interesting that if you point out to people in modern Britain that they are breaking a law, they will usually ask if you are a policeman, as if they were serfs in a country where the law belonged to the state, and not to the people, and you needed a man in uniform to make you obey it, rather than your own conscience. (Don’t they realise how lucky they are to live in a country where the people make, observe and enforce their own laws? Obviously not). Or they begin a lengthy, if ill-informed, study of your personality and its failings. The fact that they are in the wrong is instantly forgotten. Indeed, it doesn’t count. Laws only matter if you’re caught by the cops.
