Not to mention, at least when he was counting the number of prostitutes for Scotland Yard, he did not dare to be as refined as Napoleon, reporting to Parliament that prostitutes accounted for only 0.02% of the total number of women in London.
Why didn't Arthur dare to report like this?
Sir thought about it and concluded that the main issue was at the level.
The gap between a First Empire Emperor-level European official and an Assistant Commissioner-level official at the Greater London Police Department is indeed insurmountable.
Even Napoleon himself was not bothered to cover up his backdoor dealings, because Arthur heard directly from Talleyrand: the focus of voting is not on the numbers, but on showing the opposition in Europe and domestically how France kowtows to him. This is a classic Napoleon-style demonstration.
Obviously, Arthur was not naïve enough to think that he could make Parliament and the Cabinet kneel to him.
