Still relevant in June 2024. The reasoning for then is better than today when genocide and scorched earth policy is being supported by USA and UK governments only for the oil and gas off the coast of Gaza.

This was Margaret Thatcher's favourite tv show. Presumably she met lots of "Mr Humphreys" advising Cabinet meetings!

Anyone here after Britain just abstained on the UN vote to recognise Palestinian statehood?

They just don't make quality television like this anymore, they'd never be allowed to be so brutally honest.

Actually, the Brits did send troops to Afghanistan to help fight the Russians.

And deserted the country when ordered to be the cowardly Biden, gifting it, it's helpless people, women and girls back into serfdom, and $millions in weapons, to the Tsliban.

@@radicalcartoons2766Actually, it was the Trump administration who created and signed the deal to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Biden merely fulfilled it. Obviously the truth doesn't fit your agenda, so you simply ignore that part.

This series should be required viewing. Hopefully, people will wake up to how prophetic it is and understand how Governments twist their lives. When we see how the UK has declined into a Nation that is has become unrecognizable.

It's a comedy - and nearly forty years old - but every word in this clip was true then and still is today.

"I gather we are proposing to vote against Israel in the UN tonight. Why?" "They bombed the PLO." "But the PLO bombed Israel." "Yes, but the Israelis dropped more bombs than the PLO did!" "Well, anyway, seem to be faults on both sides." "Not according to my advice!"

This should be made compulsory viewing for every MP, pressure group and protest group. It is so depressing to see that what was considered comedy 15+ years ago is now tragedy, and worrying tragedy too.

"The Russians are too strong" That one aged like fine milk. The rest? Still as relevant as the day it was written.

I was taught constitutional law by Geoff Hoon who went on to become Foreign Secretary. The only and best thing that I recall him teaching was to watch “Yes Minister” because it is an accurate portrayal of British Politics and our Constitution. The only things that have changed are the width of jacket lapels and the accents; mainly “Estuary English”now but the dynamics cannot have not altered.
