In 1066, an invading force took control of our country.
They imposed punitive laws and decrees on the people they had conquered, creating a two tier society where the ruling class enjoyed privilege while the native population carried the burden.
It took Magna Carta, and the centuries of struggle that followed, to establish the principle that power must be restrained by law.
Yet over the last 30 years, we have marched backwards.
Two tier policing.โจTwo tier justice.โจTwo tier speech.โจTwo tier treatment by the state.
We are now building a society where ordinary British people are taxed, silenced, ignored, lectured and punished, while protected classes, political favourites and state approved causes are indulged, defended and rewarded.
The Normans would recognise the system.
They might even think we had gone too far.
Britain does not need managing.
It needs restoring.
