  • Very entertaining with a message of life under the 'Ruling Classes'. Highly recommended and educational at the same time.

    A quite entertaining film that should be a must see for all as it explains the way of how Britain was 'Mis Managed' by the upper classes from the late 1800 to the second world war. Having been brought up in rural Sussex in the 1950's this feudal type of management is quite familiar to me. It shows the mistake of how each war was fort the same way as the previous one forgetting the technical progress being made that the ruling classes did not or did not want too understand. To fight a dirty war and win you too have to also fight dirty, learn from your enemy. Why do we keep making the same mistakes and not learn from the past. That applies to all walks of life.
