In Chess, the board is open, everyone has the same information, and a wrong move early in the game can lose you the whole thing. Go is a lot like Chess, but there is no king.

Not a bit. The struggle between Israel and her neighbours is a depiction of the battle in the heart of man. Ultimately it's about who wins the affection of our heart, not the players we see on our screens...

Ridiculously relevant today!

Magaret Thatcher's favourite tv show.

We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and these interests it is our duty to follow (Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston 1784-1865, British Prime Minister and British Foreign Minister)

This show is almost too accurate to be comedy. 😂😂

It was why it was Margaret Thatcher's favourite program.

Amazing programme, top notch writing.

Jesus, those actors were long dead, new generations emerge but the same problem remain😐

A brilliant program! This and yes minister were the x-ray of British politics,of the time! After the recent attacks in Gaza strip, conversations like this,are taking place, behind closed doors.....😢

The foreign policy of EVERY nation is based on ONE thing only: (perceived) self-interest. When - just occasionally - the latter coincides with a moral imperative, we should be grateful (without being excessively hopeful about the future). And we should never forget that the Road to Political Power is almost _always_ paved with Good Intentions.

Oh boy. What a time for this video to be in my recommended list again.

There's probably a chicken egg reason behind that.

Brilliant, all the double dealing and hypocrisy exposed in a comedic sketch

the show never fails to deliver

Too much of the truth in just under 2 and a half minutes...brilliant

How very timely On point and.....as if repeating history AGAIN

Relevant to the hour, timeless show

I loved this show back in the day and so so relevant in these hardest of times...praying and hopeful of a Peace🙏

2023 nothings changed

Yes minister is forever relevant . Wonderful .
