He thinks he's above the law. They all do. And they are correct because no one holds them to account.
I witnessed firsthand a bunch of rough, pub-brawling, rugby playing tradesmen, who didn't give a fuck about the job for months, suddenly panic and shit themselves and become the most enthusiastic little workers you ever saw because it was announced that Princess Anne was going to arrive to cut a ribbon at an opening ceremony. It was like someone flicked a switch on these gus. The CIA couldn't brainwash people better.
There really is a profound difference between Americans and the British, at least among the lower and middle economic classes. They don't even know it but the British believe in a caste system. They think people can be born special, and they're special no matter what. Even if they're worse than worthless by their actions, they're still special because of their birth. Its inexplicable but Bitish people believe that so strongly that they're incapable of questioning it. "Special dey is, da royals."
It's crazy when you run right up against it and see it with yankee eyes.
