That Was The Week That Was: 7 – 11 May

Our assumptions about what is immutable are under attack.  The very institutions that we thought were all that stood between us and anarchy are now daily being criticised for being ‘elitist’ and ‘out of touch’ and worst of all, ‘standing in the way of progress’.  This one is particularly odd, because when asked what ‘progress’ might mean in this context, those that attack the institutions – we speak here of institutions of such radical thinking and disruption as the Supreme Court, the House of Lords, the Rule of Law; things like that – want nothing more, and nothing less, than to go back to the mythical days when apparently those very institutions ruled our lives with peace, love and understanding.  What, as Elvis Costello asked, is so funny ‘bout peace, love and understanding?  Nothing or course, but the language those that think the institutions stand in the way of progress choose to use does not normally reflect peace, or love, or understanding.
