Quote of the day 25th August 3032
When these words were first used, the author Thomas Fuller and others such as the great Judge Sir Edwin Coke were warning Kings and governments that they were not above the law.
Lord Denning, who famously quoted it as above was giving the same reminder to over-mighty trade unions.
But it applies to everyone - from governments and councils to those who protest against them, a free and democratic society cannot allow anyone to be above the law.
