Inconsistent application of unjust laws is maybe even worse than them being applied to everyone, now you have a great reason to discount the people being abused

  Inconsistency is terrible regardless of how high-quality the law is. Law is about setting boundaries but if you see everyone else breaking a law and then you get prosecuted for breaking it yourself, you don't create anything except resentment. I think poorly written and inconsistently applied laws is a big part of why the UK has become so selfish. Easier just to worry about me and mine rather than what I think society wants.

    > I think poorly written and inconsistently applied laws is a big part of why the UK has become so selfish It's much deeper than that. The UK's national identity is tied up in things that no longer exist: the British Empire and WW2. That was the peak, and everything since has been a decline. People have become selfish because the British nation has evaporated. It barely exists. There is no sense of being compatriots, because there is nothing to be compatriots of.
