That tends to be the behaviour of the lower orders of British (and I do
mean
British and not English, ever met a Scotsman in a position of minor
authority?) society when placed in positions of authority.
The genuine article is usually surprised if people don't do what they
want,
and also often at something of a loss, which is why they take the lower
orders along for the ride...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
