Well, I have no bad images of England, at all.
Now, when it comes to bureaucrats, they crack me up, whatever their nationality. They are leeches, sucking out the money of taxpayers.
The laws of power are quite logical. Still, it puzzles me, when on bloody earth was it that it got "accepted" politicians should become rich while staying in office?
I see the disturbing luxury they live in as a spitting in the face of the people of their countries (hello Russia, Romania, Turkey and a long etc.)
Only the finest wines and meals. Only the finest restaurants. Only the finest and most luxurious cars. Only the finest and most expensive clothing. Only business class. Only Caribbean Sea and Pacific Islands vacationing.
Most of them were absolutely nobody before becoming "high-profile" bureaucrats to oddly turn themselves into some sort of "new-millionaries" once their term in office expires.
Are they a necessary evil?
