Lawsuit Claims Obama Can't Be President Because He's Black. Seriously.

RE: Lawsuit Claims Obama Can't Be President Because He's Black. Seriously.
(February 25, 2012 at 3:56 pm)Stimbo Wrote: A plot from Yes, Minister many years ago featured a staggeringly succesful and hugely embarassing petition, which Jim Hacker MP ordered to be destroyed so that no-one would ever see it again. His Private Secretary, Bernard, replied that "in that case, it would be better if I filed it." Speaking as an ex-Civil Servant myself, I know this to be spookily accurate.

I frequently use that scene as an example myself. Yes Minister was a great comedy series.

The explanation of the papers in the UK still holds true:
