Tragi-comic clip focusing on the so-called targets culture in UK public services. Are you managing a hospital with patients waiting on trolleys in corridors? Simply remove the wheels and reclassify them as beds!

From BBC's "The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom" directed by Adam Curtis.

  • Brilliant. It makes me want to cry. There is so much we need to regain that was really good about work.

    Doing a good job for its own sake. The joy.

    Having the time to consider life, friendship, being.

  • I love it. They treat us like robots. And we knowingly play the part. At what point do people stop and take a step back? When does a person say, "okay, I'm a tool and I don't really like it anymore."

    I say we contemplate the nature of servitude. Is it good? Is this what our society is supposed to be about? Have we really made things better? What is better?

    What is better than servitude?
