It all still rests on the over-optimistic assumption that the bunch of dim-witted, self-centred, criminal-minded layabouts we call 'the general public' would know what was good for them if it jumped up and bit them on the nose!

What that shower want is £50K a year for no work, a fortnight somewhere hot in August, a blowout at Christmas and their team to win the Cup! Beyond that, apart from binge-watching EastEnders and Only Fools and Horses, they couldn't care less about culture, politics and the media.

You can't educate these people - it's been tried time and again - because they don't want to learn. Those of us who can differentiate between anus and humerus are stuck with looking after them as best we can, or they'd be eating each other!
