Maybe I’m showing my age a bit, but do you remember the 1980s sitcom “Yes Minister”? I’ve been rewatching it with a friend and … let’s just say it’s rather relevant to current politics.
Just last week we were watching the episode titled “The Whisky Priest” (s3e6) which deals with the sale of British arms to Italian terrorists. The Minister, James Hacker, finds himself being given somewhat embarrassing information and Sir Humphrey thinks it is a bad idea to look into the problem.
However, like all good sitcoms, it makes us stop and think. How do we deal with a moral dilemma and its fallout that can be unpredictable? In all the humour, what does this tell you about responding to the question of good and evil?
