Yes, Minister - Explanatory Note

[PondPratchettShort]

Much to my horror I actually followed that explanatory note! I should become a civil servant!

[TimBrewin]

And that's an explanatory note? priceless.

Answer to the Minister's last line:

"Because it defines and limits what local councillors may receive for doing specific things. If we don't define the limits, and keep them up to date, they'll help themselves."

I always thought it sums up exactly why government DOES work :)

The thing is that this is in all probability the reading of an actual government document. Comedy writers are not that creative.

@steve0281 They don't have to be, unfortunately.

[Deepsmeg]

@steve0281 It does sound a bit like the explanatory notes from an SI, though usually they are more concise.

Timeless bureacracy in a nutshell!

Despite its many faults, there is a certain genius in the intricacies and phallacies of bureaucracy...

[arwenae]

@ZomboDeZany I really hope you mean fallacies...

[ZomboDeZany]

@arwenae Yes, yes XD You're quite right. I slipped up a bit there :/

Classic series. Pretty much sums up why government doesn't work.

[armandin2048]

@leftcoast67 Yes, democracy is the worst form of Government ever devised, except for all the rest.
