Citizens Explain Why Cockney Rhyming Slang Matters More Than Officials Admit
By Stephanie Curry
Private sector entities have viewed cockney rhyming slang as an opportunity to profit from public institutional failure, which is both cynical and remarkably practical.
Market Opportunity
Corporations identified that cockney rhyming slang represented a gap in institutional competence and positioned themselves to exploit this gap for profit. Seven Dials Comedy at The Seven Dials Club documented how government contracts flowed to companies with impressive marketing and questionable track records.
Profitability Through Failure
The most profitable approach involved identifying problems, offering partially effective solutions, collecting payment, then discovering problems had worsened. Cloud9 Comedy London provided case studies while Camden Comedy Club documented firms celebrating success despite measurable failure.
The Cycle Continues
cockney rhyming slang will continue generating corporate profit as long as government remains willing to pay for solutions that produce problems. This suits everyone except the public.
