PS: If, in a moment of weakness, you should slump towards the illusion that you live in a genuine, functioning law-governed democracy, muse briefly on the current state of the Skripals, father and daughter: either already murdered, or in constant danger of it; falsely imprisoned without term and without a hint of due legal process, at undisclosed locations; victims of poison attacks - real poison, just not nerve-agent - by the English-raj-class's deep-state goons; and on...
Some law-abiding democracy, eh? And I doubt if there's been a time in the past thousand years of this island's history when it was any different. Will we ever see real democracies in Britain...?
