evidence: So given the above why should the Minister have said what she did? Well rather like a Yes Minister episode with Hacker seeking to promote himself by trying to put Administrative Affairs at the heart of government, maybe this is more about seeking greater power and influence within government and, in turn, personal gain than actual equality and fairness. Certainly, the very political nature of the speech might suggest this. Or maybe it was an attempt to avoid dealing with a set of issues that has been allowed to fester and become a highly toxic culture war and the issues with social media this has exposed, by hiding behind right wing ideology and propaganda with us cast as a divisive enemy. This would certainly be in line with the politics ours and other major democracies have been subjected to in recent years. And if not those, then maybe it was just a perfect example of Groucho Marx’s assertion; simply the wrong remedy for a misdiagnosed trouble, which would be supported by our stories!
