    Political logic:Anglo Irish Bank

    I was reading the thread regarding the BBC series "The Thick of it", when I decided to look around YouTube for clips from that fantastic political satire, Yes Minister (latterly, Yes Prime Minister)

    For a programme that is what, 30 odd years old... it shows that politics and the logic by which politics is played out, hasn't or doesnt change... and for those with an interest in the history of politics, they can testify to this since the dawn of democracy...

    Now, to make this thread relevant to the current debacle... i.e. whats happening in regard of Anglo Irish Bank... can someone please... please please please... sit Brian Lenihan down, and show him this clip

    PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

    Fantastic series, I have it all on DVD AND MP3 in the car. It never stops being funny.
