Polities Lies Are Built on multiple layers of dissemblance.
“British comedy at its finest: Yes, Prime Minister.”
Yes, Prime Minister (2013), where Sir Humphrey unleashes a masterclass in deadpan satire and bureaucratic judo — this time dismantling #climatechange hysteria with icy precision.
In this clip, Humphrey questions the reliability of climate models, compares them to failed financial forecasts, and takes savage swipes at scientists chasing grants, journalists chasing headlines, and governments chasing virtue points. Even polar bears and wind farms aren’t safe.
“Why are polar bears going extinct?”
“They’re not. The people who count them found more than 30 years ago.”
“Wind farms? Great business — just not great wind.”
This isn’t a science lecture. It’s British political satire at its most ruthless — calling out how data, fear, and morality get spun for media, money, and power. Love it or hate it, you can’t say it’s boring.
