Antony Jay was a British writer and broadcaster, best known for co-creating the satirical television series Yes Minister, which humorously and insightfully explored the workings of British politics. Jay's keen observations and sharp wit have made his work a lasting influence in the political landscape, demonstrating how humor can serve as a powerful tool for reflection, critique, and enlightenment. He inspires others to think critically and communicate ideas effectively.
"The Opposition aren't really the Opposition. They're just called the Opposition. But in fact they are the Opposition in exile. The Civil Service are the Opposition in residence."
"'Referring the matter to a committee' can be a device for diluting authority, diffusing responsibility and delaying decisions."
"He's suffering from Politicians' Logic. Something must be done, this is something, therefore we must do it."
"You can judge a leader by the size of the problem he tackles. Other people can cope with the waves, it's his job to watch the tide."
