Всем русофобам и англофилам, а также просто нечуждым политической сатиры рекомендую посмотреть хотя бы одну серию
сериала "Да, господин премьер-министр", снятого в 80-х британцами для британцев. Потрясающе, насколько наши тупые политики такие же тупые политики, как и английские. Даже проблемы у них те же. Для затравочки пара диалогов:
Про оборонкуSir Humphrey: Bernard, what is the purpose of our defence policy?
Bernard: To defend Britain.
Sir Humphrey: No, Bernard. It is to make people believe Britain is defended.
Bernard: The Russians?
Sir Humphrey: Not the Russians, the British! The Russians know it's not.
Про внешнюю политикуHacker: You just said that the foreign office was keeping something from me! How do you know if you don't know?
Bernard: I don't know specifically what, Prime Minister, but I do know that the Foreign Office always keep everything from everybody. It's normal practice.
Hacker: Who does know?
Bernard: May I just clarify the question? You are asking who would know what it is that I don't know and you don't know but the Foreign Office know that they know that they are keeping from you so that you don't know but they do know and all we know there is something we don't know and we want to know but we don't know what because we don't know! Is that it?
Hacker: May I clarify the question: Who knows Foreign Office secrets, apart from the Foreign Office?
Bernard: Oh, that's easy: only the Kremlin.
Про жизньBernard: It's one of those irregular verbs, isn't it: I have an independent mind; you are an eccentric; he is round the twist.
