Martin Geddes writes in from his "holiday" ...
"Not everyone agrees on what a better world should look like, only that the one we have is unsatisfactory"
"How language is twisted so that we trick ourselves into surrendering what is already ours"
If we want a new system, it must be founded upon a common language with the common word meanings so that all participants stand on the same common ground for communication. OK, Geordie isn't the same as Scouse, but all Englishmen should be "King's English" capable, otherwise the Courts become unusable for all except the legal profession.
But I digress.
The complexity of today's legal systems may not be readily disentangled from the political systems. The latter doesn't so much require reform as take-down and reinvention - so may the legal system.
But to dismantle everything without putting something reasonably familiar in its place may be to court both chaos and anarchy, so probably best to revert everything to a time when the English (Not to Mention Scottish Irish and Welsh) Constitutions, Parliaments, and Legal systems were unsullied by the Act of Union of 1707.
That might form a viable and just starting point (free of the EU and globalist nonsense) for further reform, whilst not relinquishing all current familiarity with our systems of governance, but reverting to the foundation of the presently much-derided English Constitution and according the four nations their own independent systems.
It will be a leisurely journey, rather than a day trip.
Yes that's overly simplistic, but we have to start somewhere.
We will need a plan, and perhaps some doughty people have already given the matter some serious thought.
