Standing out like an elephantiasist bollock on an over-endowed Rhodesian
Ridgeback is the legal system. It exists to maximise the hours of
bitterness involved in a divorce to inflate fees – but not to cater
sensitively for the needs of traumatised kids and parents. To double the
anxiety of buying a property and moving home, rather than calm down one
of the six most stressful events in a life. To create more and more
laws and encourage unreasonably litigious mindsets – as opposed to the
sense of “sh*t happens” and personal responsibility our society so
chronically lacks. Extreme as it sounds, if one abolished the Whitehall
machine and the legal profession (with the exception of criminal justice
and Business Law) tomorrow, I seriously doubt whether we would see
anything but a massive gain in efficiency – and equally massive
socio-economic savings.
