    Brilliant. Nothing has changed since these witty, and brutally truthful lines were spoken.
    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. These days there are political advisers (think Dominic Cummings) who wield the power; older civil servants have retired; there have been years of cuts, tremendous hostility from Tories and the media ('lazy civil servants working from home' etc), and a lot of low morale.

    Query:
    If British consumers are only interested in cod and haddock, why are our retail fish markets offering such a range of species? Why would marketeers offer mackerel, turbot, pollack, coley, bass, wrasse etc if noone wants to buy it?
