The UK political scene reminds me of this oldie — during the ‘70s, Soviet workers had a saying “We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”

Part of a Mawal Trees comment on that Crace —

“” Imagine a world where if caught speeding you were not fined or arrested but an ‘inquiry’ was launched, that could take months if not years. Imagine if say your neighbors had to ‘vote’ to see what should be done giving you time to bribe and beg every single one of them. Highly paid analysts and experts are called in to determing ‘if you KNEW you were speeding’ when caught doing 125mph on the school run. But did you know? Can it be proven you looked at the speedometer during the alleged offence. Imagine then finally decades later the police are called and they send you a ‘questionaire’ which they don’t actually send….””

There is definitely a "final days of the USSR" vibe at present, yes.

He certainly shows up how lazy and incurious most of our "top journalists" are.
