Funny that the anti smoking measures presented as batshit crazy in #YesPrimeMinister actually came to pass. How times change!

It's surreal how a political satire sitcom from 40 years ago provided, and still provides, a more accurate and truthful commentary on Israel / Palestine than real life MSM and op-eds ever have. youtu.be/IgLg9zQH3vU

Wishing everyone a good morning with my favourite British comedy sketch - the newspapers.

Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country...

I can almost hear Sir Humphrey advising Bernard:
"On second thoughts, best not to talk about donkeys in connection with the PM"

Bernard Woolley:
That's one of those irregular verbs, isn't it? I received an incentive bonus. You took a bag of cash. He has been charged with bribery and corruption under Chapter 11 Title 18 of the United States Code.

Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn would agree with the vast majority of this. #YesMinister #YesPrimeMinister
"I grew up believing I wasn’t smart enough to understand the mechanics of our nation. I thought people who strolled the corridors in Washington DC were somehow more capable than a jerk like me. And then I started meeting politicians and political aides." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/the-best-a...

I very much doubt that Americans will ever again believe that our country has a native governing class… That’s not a bad thing.

“But you only need to know things on a ‘need to know’ basis.”

“I need to know everything! How else can I judge whether or not I need to know it?”

Day 7 of 20

#YesPrimeMinister by #AntonyJay and #JonathanLynn (1980)

Another laugh-out-loud set of books. I didn't think it would translate from TV to book, but I was wrong. I have loved political satire ever since.

Thank you @agentmancuso.bsky.social for setting the challenge.

The #YesPrimeMinister made a comedy sketch about this. It goes like:

..The daily mirror is read by people who thinks they run the country.

The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country.

The Times is read by people who actually do run the country.

Wooley: Isn’t it a bad idea to be associated with actors? I mean, their job is pretending to be what they are not. And if you are seen with them, well, people might realise... Er, I mean, not realise exactly might suspect, might think that you were pretending..

His performance at Covid Inquiry, the revelations about treatment of senior female civil servant Dr Yvonne Doyle and email exchanges with then Head of Civil Service about need for “Covid parties” were disqualifying in my eyes.

Just someone who plays great game as in #YesPrimeMinister

At last a "Proper Cabinet Secretary"!!! Cambridge.
Was Principal Private Secretary to a Minister. A #SirHumphrey & #BernardWoolley pedigree.
They would both approve.

Civil Service system being restored to normal. 😁😁🤣🤣
