@@tobyyorke2539 No, although I live in south-east Staffordshire near Lichfield, so it isn't that far from here. Wish I had. But I remember this clip because I watched everything that Jonathan Meades had ever done on TV about 10 years ago, and it stuck in my mind.

I expect Meades to write an article in The Critic magazine pretty soon about the terrible destruction of the Crooked House at the start of this video.

I just watches this episode today and thought, "crooked house looks cool i might take a trip there, after all, I like pubs." Caught us without the news this evening and it's all burnt and destroyed. Gotta be the definition of shit timing on my part, 29 years after the episode aired.

I think it is from the soundtrack to a James Bond Film. Possibly Moonraker, something like that..

"protect us from ourselves..." Yes, that's about right. The role of government should be the protection of property and little else.

You've just described a feudal state. A modern government is meant to govern i.e. protect individual liberties from the tyranny of the many as well a provide a minimum level of living conditions and economic environment such that a society can function without people living in fear. And part of that protection being afforded is the requirement of a military, healthcare etc. all the things ancient Rome realised thousands of years ago.
