If only...


If only 10% (that's ten per cent) of what is depicted is true then I was correct in my final opinion about politicians and government officials, mostly everywhere. They should be all shot on sight! :D

On a lighter tone, we can see why Great Britain has become what she has become. It is said numerous times throughout the series ;)

On a not-so-lighter tone, Great Britain could have benefited vastly if a revolution had occurred there as it did in France! Granted, many freeloaders would have to work for their pay but that's too small a price to pay - if compared to what they should REALLY "pay" for their status and their general "offering" to their society as a whole.

France has no shortage of pompous know-best civil servants I’m sure. In fact this programme was popular all over the world as corruption and deal making as an essential part of political life strikes a chord everywhere, politics is a dirty but necessary business.

"politics is a dirty but necessary business. "

You are not making much sense, and this last statement is ludicrous.

For whom is it necessary?

All we need is LAW and a few basic services - who really needs POLITICS?

Do you know why politics exists? Do you know the real power structures behind politics?

Politics exist for CREATING POLICY.

After all the rudimentary policies had been created, there was basically no real need for more policy. That's why it was written in the American rules that a congress must come together every year to adjust the policy to the perhaps slightly changed needs of the people, so that everything stays good. They couldn't even envision there being a constant hassle in the policy-making business!

It was never meant to grow into POLITICS - they are really not necessary, except to advance an evil agenda and to enslave the human population as "persons" (which they have sadly identified themselves as, and thus agreed that they want to be slaves).

You are either really ill-informed, mentally impaired, or evil, to say that politics are necessary. You are right about the other bit though - it is definitely a -business-.

Every 'person' has a birth certificate or a child's registration that are all being constantly traded for a lot of money in the stock market. If that's not business, I don't know what is.

Human beings are not persons, but if they have performed a 'joinder', they can then be treated as such. Only persons have to bear certain duties and obligations, human beings don't. But, again, if you have given consent to being governed by the legal system, then you become a 'person' in the eyes of the forces that are now authorities above you, instead of your servants (like all governments should be and started out to be), and the only way to free yourself is to claim your rights and break that joinder.

I'm sure that's the case in all civil service departments. The Minister only thinks he runs the ship.
