In reality, it probably takes more nous to fail this scheme than to pass it. If you're looking for an "elite" (thank you Common Purpose) it's probably the Unlock failures who should be recruited.Umbongonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-6313787251414667602020-04-24T12:02:26.854+01:002020-04-24T12:02:26.854+01:00You want things done on the cheap so you pay peanu...You want things done on the cheap so you pay peanuts and you get ????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-37130568025578758532020-04-24T10:58:54.763+01:002020-04-24T10:58:54.763+01:00Vetting doesn't do anything like Minority Repo...Vetting doesn't do anything like Minority Report. It simply checks peoples history financial status and habits, the level of vetting goes back longer and deeper depending on the level required. For this level it isn't much beyond checking his criminal history and financial history.<br /><br />People become corrupted by power and the ability to make what is easy money. Once in position they are easily led to the dark side as a couple of phones and drugs can easily be smuggled in with little risk for easy money. It appears that the prisons are full of them so just like the drug war out here it seems to be a waste of time.Lord Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-57559891885802325722020-04-24T09:36:45.230+01:002020-04-24T09:36:45.230+01:00'Went about as well as any other government sc...'Went about as well as any other government scheme, then...'<br /><br />There must be an alternative to jail for this potential society leader.
