Every week someone seems keen on arguing that there is “two-tier” justice in Britain.

Of course there is. If you’re a Royal or a chum of Epstein (or both), you won’t be charged.

If you cause the largest miscarriage of justice in English history (Post Office scandal), you likely won’t be charged.

If you go to Oxford and/or Eton, you massively reduce any risk of criminal charge.

If you are an MP, you can make false promises and gain a material benefit. In other walks of life, that’s fraud.

Obviously the system is two-tier. The mistake is people who think those who are in charge of it are the type of person running a diversity scheme in a corporate HR department in Swansea rather than those with enormous amounts of wealth and political power.

Janet in HR handing out rainbow diversity badges didn’t sell the country off to private equity vultures. The person who did is super keen on you being angrier with Janet than the people with actual power.
