Amongst the many interviews for Rule Britannia, one of them is with a homeless living in a park in London. The son of a black Jamaican father and a white English heroin addict with 6 siblings. He himself fathered 4 children, now all living in foster homes.
The problem with the homeless in Britain is not that there is no help, it is that it is filled with extremely arrogant overpaid social workers who believe that they are God on Earth and rejoice in endless bureaucracy leaving the homeless agonizing in the streets. The political Left is messy and not great but the right isn't helping either.
The new British government -on the Right side- new policy towards the homeless is: "Out of sight, out of mind". Thanks to the Covid19 pandemic and the lock-down, most have been re-housed, by-passing social workers and the infernal bureaucracy.
In the 21st century, a rich nation cannot survive with people living in the streets: it would be a proof that the society is completely dysfunctional and cannot function. Above all else, anyone and everyone can be a homeless.

In between each chapter introduced by the two protagonists, there are 8 interviews of about an hour each. The film is predominantly designed with perspective in mind. The interviews are presented slanted on the side moving from small to big to make it more visually interesting.
The project Rule Britannia consists of a conversation between the late James Hogan and Old Nick about the history of Britain. Filmed during the Covid 19 lock-down (the film industry was allowed to continue to work), it did seem appropriate for the two protagonists to be dressed mummified from head to toe; masked as everyone was supposed to be, mummified and preserved like history must be.
The main colors are white for the background except with the main protagonists when they are in white so the background is red and blue is used on the frames around the screen displaying the interviews with various experts in the field of history and economy.
The film has ruffled a few feathers with its presentation being so out there but the core existence of history is to evolve and indeed evolve in the main presentation of the documentary. Evolve with added data. Failing this . it's confined to prehistory.
