That's not to say that Satire isn't relevant!
This piece of satire IMHO still speaks loudly in criticism of the prevailing legal attitudes in the UK (and other industrialized nations that regard it as a model), especially regarding social behaviour and the erosion of private citizen's rights therein.
The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.
