PM: “I know exactly who reads the papers.
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country.
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country.
The Times is read by the people who do actually run the country.
The Daily Mail is run by the wives of the people who run the country.
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country.
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country.
And the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.”
Sir Humphrey: “Oh and Prime Minister, and what about the people who read The Sun?”
Bernard: “The Sun readers don’t care who runs the country, as long as she’s got big tits.”
