A question of privilege

One law for the rich, another law for everyone else – well, that’s exactly what’s happened for Aunt Kat’s farm, isn’t it? It was, uh, inconvenient for the developer that the title on the land existed – and their private profit had higher priority than the existence of Kat’s home. So the house had to go. And the council made that happen for them by hunting out for them any bits of law that could be interpreted in their favour.

The technical term is ‘privilege’ – literally, ‘first in law’.

Anyone else would call it corruption.

I’m sick of this. I want the real version of the Agreement – not the dishonest mess we live in now…
