Broken

A 'broken judicial system'; 'a broken society'. Two terms to describe two different parts of what life is like in Britain in 2011.

Well, that's how the government assess it. The word 'broken' being used to describe anything that doesn't work correctly, or inefficiently.

It used to be that when something wasn't working correctly, it would be termed 'disfunctional'. Maybe this word has been dropped from the governmental vocabulary because they feel society is too dumb to understand what the word means.

This is the kind of patronising thinking only a broken government would possess.
