The British State is using law to achieve desired outcomes and produce a particular understanding of reality that they want to be portrayed.

The British regime’s biased approach to law enforcement, particularly in cases like the rape gangs scandal, is designed to reinforce the regime’s claim to be uniquely capable of making society better and to produce “effectual truths” that support its authority.

This approach is characteristic of a “princely” mode of governing, where the ruler uses law to justify their authority and create a narrative of improvement, as described by Machiavelli in ‘The Prince’.

Although it claims to be able to control various aspects of society, the British State is unable to maintain a neutral and abstract framework of legal rules.  This is because of its mode of governing.

This mode of governing is associated with the instrumentalisation of law and selective enforcement of rules to achieve political objectives and produce “truth,” rather than upholding a neutral and abstract framework of legal rules.  It is a mode of governing that originated at the dawn of political modernity, the principles of which were set out in Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’.

The Prince is a political treatise written by Niccolò Machiavelli in 1513 and first published in 1532. It serves as a guide for political action based on history and Machiavelli’s own experience as a statesman in Florence. The treatise discusses how to acquire power, create a state and maintain it.  The book’s content, which includes advice on lying, murder and manipulation, has made it infamous and has led to the term “Machiavellian” being used to describe political manoeuvres marked by cunning, duplicity or bad faith.

Using concepts described in The Prince, British legal scholar and writer David McGrogan describes the political theory behind what is happening in the UK today.  The following is a summary, with added context, of his article titled ‘Law and the British Regime: How two-tier justice produces an ‘effectual truth’’.  You can read his full article  HERE.

 The Prince vs. The Republic

At the beginning of The Prince, Machiavelli sets out that political modernity will involve the disenchantment of politics. Politics will cease to be a theological or spiritual affair and will from that time be a purely temporal matter.*  This results in a political authority only being able to draw on two rationales: the virtù of the ruler, the prince, in improving the temporal world or representing the virtù of the population, the republic.   

Virtù refers to the individual initiative and drive necessary for a ruler to maintain and expand their state.  So, the second rationale, the republic, doesn’t refer to democracy – a system of government in which power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or through freely elected representatives. The republic, representing the virtù of the population, refers to rulers giving effect to and maintaining the norms and customs associated with the population’s way of life.

“At the heart of [the] distinction between principality and republic is law. A republic is almost synonymous with the rule of law in the classical sense,” McGrogan said.

A republic is characterised by the rule of law, where a system of legal rules reflects the society’s norms, and politics is a matter of administering and changing these rules. Whereas, a prince uses the law as a tool to achieve what he considers an “effectual truth” and to uphold his status. He aims to utilise the law to craft a narrative of progress and his own importance, while also establishing a social order that benefits him.

“Modern regimes [ ] have within them the tendency to govern in the mode of a prince, and when they do this, they correspondingly have a tendency to deploy law rather than to simply administer and enforce rules. And they deploy it in a biased way: to achieve desired outcomes and, more importantly, to produce within the population an ‘effectual truth’ – a particular understanding of reality,” McGrogan said.

The use of legal rules and principles to achieve purposes other than those for which they were originally intended is referred to as the “instrumentalisation of law.”

The modern British State, as reflected in all major political parties, exemplifies this princely mode of governing where the instrumentalisation of law and selective enforcement of rules are used to achieve political objectives and produce “truth,” rather than upholding a neutral and abstract framework of legal rules.

(*Note: Last year we published an article which demonstrated that Magna Carta, one of the sources of the UK constitution, confirms the Spiritual Constitution and the Temporal Constitution of the UK.  In other words, constitutionally, the UK cannot exclude spiritual affairs from politics; if the British State were to do so, it would be acting unconstitutionally.  For the sake of clarity: The Spiritual Constitution is represented specifically by the Christian Church and only the Christian Church.  To find out more, you can read our article HERE.)

The Instrumentalisation of Law in Modern Britain

The concept of law in modern regimes, including the British regime, is often used instrumentally to achieve desired outcomes and produce a particular understanding of reality, referred to as an “effectual truth.”

This approach to law is characteristic of a “princely mode” of governance, where the ruling authority seeks to present itself as benevolent and uniquely capable of improving society.

The British regime, including most major political parties and the establishment, has an entrenched habit of deploying law in this biased way, as seen in various examples such as the Equality Act 2010, the Energy Act 2023 and the use of “Non-Crime Hate Incidents.”

The regime’s approach to law is designed to reinforce its claim to being uniquely capable of making society better and to produce the effectual truths upon which it relies.

Biased Enforcement and the Rape Gangs Scandal

This biased approach to law is also evident in the way the British regime enforces, as well as makes, law, particularly in the case of criminal law, as seen in the handling of the rape gangs scandal.

The regime’s use of law to maintain a particular “truth” about multiculturalism and mass immigration has led to the law being largely silent in cases where this “truth” is threatened, such as when adolescent girls complain about being gang-raped.

As McGrogan explained:

[An] example of the law being used (or, perhaps I should say, refrained from being used) as a tool to realise a “truth,” namely, that multiculturalism is working fine and dandy, integration is tickety-boo, and the only real problems associated with mass immigration are attributable to the lamentable, grubby, petty, neanderthal views and habits of the oikish local deplorables.

When any event surfaced that might threaten the monolithic acceptance of that “truth” – such as an adolescent girl complaining about having been gang-raped – it turned out the law was largely silent. It was deployed to maintain the “truth.” And we are all of course familiar with what happens in the converse situation that emerges whenever anybody does or says anything to challenge that “truth” …

Unsustainable Governance and Impending Crisis

This approach to governance is ultimately unsustainable. As Machiavelli noted, princely rule cannot last indefinitely and a regime that governs in this way will eventually be led by incompetent and tyrannical leaders.

The current British regime is facing intense pressure, and its reliance on effectual truths is likely to be overturned as people retain the capacity to think and speak freely, leading to a potential overturning of the constitutional order.

The British regime is facing criticism, particularly from Elon Musk, who has pointed out the regime’s cover-up of child rape and torture, which has led to a defensive response from the regime’s supporters.  The regime’s supporters, which McGrogan referred to as the “OAPs-in-the-room,” have appeared on radio programmes to dismiss Musk as a “foreign far-right conspiracy theorist” who is spreading “disunity” and “denigrating” Britain.

“This bluster can all be safely ignored,” McGrogan said.   However, despite this defensive response, the regime is facing a growing sense of crisis, with a “fin de siécle mood” – an atmosphere of uneasiness, overstimulation, boredom and concern for the future – setting in across the country, characterised by a feeling of brittleness and instability.  There is a growing sense that the regime is on the verge of collapse and that one more revelation of the truth could be the final blow that shatters the entire edifice.

The question that is becoming increasingly urgent is: What will replace the current regime? In the aftermath of inevitable, generalised collapse will a more sane, humane, moral order be reconstituted through a republican model of the rule of law?  McGogan suggests that this question may need to be answered sooner rather than later, given the rapid pace of events.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.
