The Thick of It

[chickenfeet]

So I watch about as much TV as a blind anteater, mostly because in my not very humble opinion most of it is utter shite. However, I've just discovered The Thick of It. This is Yes Minister for the age of Bliar and Chameleon and just as funny in a thoroughly vicious way, just like the real thing. The snark is first class; describing a minister as "the political equivalent of the house wine in a suburban Indian restaurant" for example. The Alastair Campbell look alike is priceless. So utterly unpleasant that nobody would dare make it up.

I can honestly say that one of the best decisions I ever made in my life was not to try and make my career in politics.

Surely great values precludes a career in politics?

Oh cynical me. Clearly I should stand for Parliament.
