Quote of the Day (2008-02-06)

Jim Hacker: "The trouble with Brussels is not internationalism, it is too much bureaucracy."
Sir Humphrey: "But the bureaucracy is a consequence of the internationalism. Why else would there be an English Commissioner with a French Director-General immediately below him, and an Italian Chef-du-Division reporting to the Frenchman and so on down the line."
Jim Hacker: "Oh, I agree."
Sir Humphrey: "It is like the Tower of Babel."
Jim Hacker: "I agree."
Sir Humphrey: "No, it's even worse, it is like the United Nations."
Jim Hacker: "I agree."
Bernard Woolley: "Then perhaps, if I may interject, you are in fact in agreement."
Jim Hacker & Sir Humphrey: "No we're not!"
