Another Uk Government minister resigns.

@Northwest We used to have a political satire show called 'The thick of it.' It was really dark and dry British humour about government incompetence. The creator, Amando Iannucci, went on to write Veep which is kind of the same thing but stylistic catering for US humour.

Iannucci keeps getting asked to bring back The Thick of It but he himself says that reality is now crazier than the satire he wrote. The consequences are great too and he says he doesn't think anything is funny about what is going on.

@Burnley123 My joke was somewhat in gist. A few of our popular shows, in recent years, seem to be remakes of British shows. The Office for instance. Wasn't the Apprentice a knockoff of a British show? There's even a show, about a British show that was being adopted for US TV.

One of my favorites was "yes, prime minister'

@Northwest Yeah you yanks do copy our shows but with American actors. I think The Apprentice is something you guys did first but I could be wrong. House of Cards was a British show in the early 90s but I forgive you lot for doing that because the American show was superb, at least for the first two seasons.

You copy our best TV shows and we copy your worst political ideas. Oh well.

@Burnley123 ... and that's our gift to the world these days :-) I'm hoping for more exports, like the Peace Corps. Let's hope the current situation is just a bad fad.
