Introduction

There’s a point where impunity is not a failure of the system, it is the purpose of the system.

Justice is too often institutional force applied to the weak and vulnerable by the strong: ‘the strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must ‘.

Europe Is On The Menu

Introduction
