Yes Minister: Sir Humphrey explains Foreign Policy (UK Style)
This quote is from episode 1x05 from Yes, Minister, "The Writing on the Wall".
The minister Jim Hacker (to the right) is naive and pro-Europe, while his (more capable) underling, senior civil service mastermind, his private secretary Sir Humphrey (to the left) explains how the British Foreign Policy has always been about making sure the European idea fails.
This episode was originally aired 1981, but it is actually very current, too. The discussion erupts over the idea of introducing mandatory ID cards to Britain, which is still a hot topic in 2009.
