Last week, our newly re-elected Prime Minister, David Cameron, said something quite remarkable in a speech outlining his new government‘s legislative plans for the next five years. Remarkable not because it‘s unexpected that a newly formed Conservative government with a working majority would bang the law and order drum, but because of what it implies:

„For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens ‚as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone‘.“

Think about it for a moment.
