  I studied a little ethics at school. The big problem with deontological ethics systems is that everyone has to agree on what the rules are and what ones individual duty is. Boris Johnson and Darcus Howe would have a problem sorting that one out.
  
  Teleological ethics systems give rise to the victimless crime for instance speeding. If you speed but aren't caught, you are still in the wrong under a deontological system but not under a teleological system where consequences are the key. A further variation on this is where the victim is unaware of the crime e.g minor tax evasion or nicking a couple of apples from an orchard.
  
  We need a word for an ethics system where the gang is king, anyone outside the gang is fair game, consequences don't matter and the winner is the one who achieves the greatest material gain.
