ESSAY EXCERPT
“Everything about this weekend could have been predicted: when you suspend everyday life you can’t expect normal behaviour. When you manipulate legal rights you can’t expect lawful responses. When you hold a summit for fragmented, self-serving and un-democratic purposes, you can only expect the same from your populace.”
