Jim Hacker: "Well, we can't really defend ourselves against the Russians with a performance of Henry V."
Bernard Woolley: "Isn't it a bad idea to be associated with actors? I mean, their job is pretending to be what they're not and if you're seen with them, well, people might realise....."

ROTFLMAO A good point well made Davros! When we in Britain make an important point using humour we call that 'satire' is it the same in Fostersland?
Did you know that 'Yes, Prime Minister' was Margaret Thatcher's favourite TV programme. It makes you wonder where she found the time to watch TV with all that waging war and destroying the unions and the introduction of the Poll Tax and stuff.
Of course I wouldn't normally consider the opinion of that old harridan any recommendation but on this occasion she was right.
Oops - edit to say something on topic. Art good - guns bad! But I expect everyone knew I would think that!
