From the Hacker News discussion
Voted up just for the reference to Yes Prime Minister, one of the UK's best contributions to political education and entertainment. On the other hand, there's Sir Humphrey's opinion on Trident. "It's the nuclear deterrent Harrods would sell." [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗I love this part as well, when Sir Humphrey is arguing for Trident: [VIDEO] "In the world of nuclear missiles, it is the Savile Row suit, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Chateau Lafite 1945. It is the nuclear missile Harrods would sell you."
