Government and Bureaucracy
The English like to believe they are ruled by consent. They have a
well-developed sense of personal freedom and, whatever the realities of
the situation, have to feel that they are the masters of their own fate.
They do not take kindly to control of any sort and insist on the fiction
that they do so only on a voluntary basis.
When it comes to bureaucracy, the English view it as a necessary evil.
Their innate concern that "things are done properly" inclines them to
accept yards and yards of red tape whilst their natural instincts for
directness as well as their love of complaining incline them to reject it.
English bureaucracy and English red tape, like everything else English,
are perceived as being the best of their kind in the world and definitely
boulevards ahead of anything Europe has to offer. (142 words)
