yes prime minister

• ingiliz iç ve dış politikaları hakkında yerinde tespitleri ile kırıp geçiren dizidir. şöyle ki başmüsteşar sir humphrey appleby ve dışişleri müsteşarı sir richard wharton konuşmaktadırlar.
  
  sir humphrey appleby: this bother about st george's island
  is getting to be a bore.
  
  sir richard wharton: we made the real mistake
  giving them their independence.
  
  sha: wasn't that right? wind of change and all?
  
  srw: yes, but not that way.
  we should have partitioned the island.
  
  sha: like we did in india, cyprus and palestine?
  and ireland?
  
  srw: yes, that was our invariable practice
  with the colonies. it always worked.
  
  sha: but didn't partition always lead to civil war?
  as in india, cyprus, palestine and ireland.
  
  srw: yes, but it kept them busy.
  instead of fighting other people,
  they fought each other.
  
  sha: yes, rather good. saved us having a policy.
  cheers.
