Steven Barrett is a leading UK barrister, legal writer, and constitutional expert who has become one of the sharpest critics of Britain’s bloated, dysfunctional legal system.
In this interview, Steven lays out how the rule of law in Britain has been quietly hollowed out by bad legislation, unelected regulators like Ofcom, and a political class addicted to complexity and control. We discuss the rise of a two-tier justice system, the explosion of “law inflation,” and how vague, unreadable rules are being used to censor speech, shield the powerful, and trap ordinary people. Steven explains why British civil justice is no longer accessible to most citizens, how legal bureaucracy has replaced common sense, and why the UK's constitutional structure is now in crisis.
