It Could Be You

It never occurs to them that they might lose their jobs, or become too ill to work, or unexpectedly find that they were expecting a third child.

It never occurs to them that they might be unfairly dismissed, or be driven to the wall by an exorbitant ground rent.

And it never occurs to them that they might be wrongly accused of an offence that was currently eligible for trial by jury, or that they might be wrongly convicted or sentenced by a Magistrates' Court.

But any of those things could happen to them. Any of those things could happen to anyone. Or could they? If we were being governed by people to whom they really could not, then the problem would be even worse than we had realised. Is it? Are we?
