Self Servants

Most of the time, the abysmal ‘service’ we peasants receive from the Police and other Self Servants goes unremarked in the press.  Only when the abuses are so gross they can no longer be covered up with threats of litigation, or when the case involves a public figure does the public hear about it. These abuses are presented as the exception rather than the rule.
Such is the case with Andrew Mitchell, the former government Chief Whip, previously the chief dispensing agent of government  'Aid' to neo colonial governments, who unusually, has been treated like a common person by the police force.
The police are currently investigating a number of their own officers, but when Mr. Mitchell first managed to demonstrate that the Police were stitching him up, Bernard Hogan-Howe, the police commissioner of the Metropolitan Police said:

“I don’t really think from what I’ve heard up to now that it’s really affected the original account of the officers at the scene……There’s nothing I have seen in this fresh information that causes me to doubt that original account.”

Similar statements are made by countless thousands of so-called public servants throughout the land.
I myself have heard similar words from government officials, when flying in the face of the obvious, they act in what they perceive to be the best interests of their institution and their career, and what is to my detriment.
(I'm sure we all have our tale to tell.)
The interests of their career are usually the best interests of the hierarchical gang that they work for.
Self-serving corrupt officials treat the average peasant as the enemy.
In Mr. Mitchell’s case, it always did seem unlikely that he called a policeman a pleb rather than a plod.
The state is a collection of vested interests that interfere in your every day existence. Government is hierarchically structured and based on violence and self interest. Good will, the gift economy, honesty, are the government's enemy. And so are you.
'There is no such thing as society,' Mrs. Thatcher once said. When government replaces society as the collectivity of people, then the people have been conquered, they are a subject people.
The government's business is power. It is inherently corrupt. Corruption is its nature. Corruption is its purpose.
