#1 "All the members of our country club agree that"

#2 According to Sir Andrew's Wikipedia page, he spent his emtire career moving up the foreign office ladder, achieving a bureacratic knightship at the end. So definitely a member of g(r)omgoru's country club, and likely a pristine example in nature of what art presents in Yes, Minister -- of which that bit is only the first example.

#3 There, Mr McCain sought the advice of Sir Andrew, a highly respected retired diplomat, on a dossier which was put together by Christopher Steele, a former MI6 officer, about Mr Trump and the Moscow connection.

A 'former UK ambassador' just happened to bump into McCain did he ?

From the Telegraph:
On Thursday Russia publicly accused MI6 of “briefing both ways” against Russia and Mr Trump and suggested Mr Steele was still working for the Secret Intelligence Service.

The Russian embassy in London used its official Twitter account to say: “Christopher Steele story: MI6 officers are never ex: briefing both ways – against Russia and US President.”

#4 The things I don't think of. It turns out entire seasons of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister are available on YouTube. So we'll be able to avoid even more of the regular programming for a bit, as I ponder the task President Trump and his team will face. I hope defanging the union will be a first step, like Governor Walker did and Governor Kasich did not.

#5 Sir Andrew, I don't care what you think of Steele. You will bloody well attend the Halifax conference and have a good time. We'll be looking forward to your trip report.

#6 Link to the first episode of Yes, Prime Minister is here. The things I don't think of if it's too soon after awakening. My apologies.

#7 If they think they can attack the United States with impunity, they are sadly mistaken.
