Season I establishes SYSTEMIC at ground level. It maps the legal staircase that narrowed civil liberties, the narrative machinery that converts uncertainty into guilt, and the courtroom procedures that make coercion feel routine without announcing themselves as political transformation.

About Season I

Season I: Diagnosing Injustice is the entry point to SYSTEMIC. It traces the modern UK rights erosion staircase, following how successive Acts, statutory instruments, and policy shifts have narrowed protest, expression, and everyday refusal while presenting change as administrative necessity.

The focus is practical and evidentiary. Episodes examine legislation, policing practice, charging decisions, prosecution narratives, and courtroom procedure, with particular attention to how ambiguity is converted into certainty, and how coercion is presented as neutral process.

This season is deliberately UK specific and mechanism first. Questions of global geopolitics, sanctions, and external coercion are held within The Empire Codes. Here the concern is closer and more immediate: what happens to an ordinary person, in an ordinary case, once the machinery of the state begins to turn.

The material does not offer personal legal advice. It aims to build literacy in how systems function, so patterns of injustice can be recognised, documented, and challenged with clarity rather than shock.
