Hacker’s legacy

I’m currently going through the complete Yes, Prime Minister on DVD. I’m currently at the start of the second disc of the first series, and by coincidence I think young George and Dave of Notting Hill are at the same spot:

DAVID CAMERON proposed a voluntary “National Service” scheme for school-leavers yesterday as his battle for the Conservative leadership with David Davis entered the final week.

Shadow Chancellor George Osborne told the BBC’s Sunday AM programme MPs’ salaries should to be determined by an independent panel.

“It’s crazy to let MPs or indeed anyone else decide their own salaries,” he said.

“This should be set by the same people civil service pay, teacher’s pay, and so on. Indeed I’d like us linked to a particular teaching grade or civil service grade”.

…both deftly pilthed from the scripts of The Grand Design and A Real Partnership.
