    A supreme, and hilarious humour in Britain, is the common people watching these TV series, plus the government with its overdose of burocracy, knowing the facts of corruption in parliament and parties, the use of woolly, wordy statements and speeches, while, to this day, those skills are honed, bringing the practitioners into an almost full hypnotic state of selfmade belief.

      The Civil Service you see here has been all but destroyed.
