LAW and FREEDOM

The purpose of Law and Freedom is to promote freedom under law, as we enter more lawless times.

Law becomes tyrannical without freedom, and freedom becomes predatory without law. A free society under law will always be more prosperous and peaceful.

There are three threats to the survival of state authority in Britain and Europe.

First, economic breakdown. If the state goes bankrupt, the machinery of law disappears. This is the immediate problem.

Second, welfare dependence and collapse. This is the underlying problem.

Third, ethnic division, particularly between Islamic and non-Islamic society, and the violence at the heart of Islamic doctrine. This is the most visible problem, and the one that people will blame.

Together, these three problems risk creating the conditions for lawless violence.

Political and intellectual elites are undermining our laws and freedoms. So we need to take what action we can to preserve them ourselves.
