He's paraphrasing Thatcher when she was talking about miner strikes in the 80s which makes it even worse

It's the same mentality that drives support for trump's tariffs isn't it? People have convinced themselves that this is a magic tax on foreigners

Ira Steven Behr (the Jewish show runner you reference) talks about trying to change the ferengi being written as stereotypical Jews to stereotypical present day Americans. I think he talks about it in his "What you leave behind" documentary he did a few years back

The reason I'm thinking that is that it's clear that both of them really wanted to be the equivalent of the US president but for the UK but since that job didn't exist they became prime minister instead. I'll concede Johnson's personality makes him more suitable for this fictitious job

The worst thing the sequel trilogy did was waste Finn/John Boyega. I'd have a lot more time for last jedi criticism if it concentrated on that

Not just Leela's. The doctor's had a few of "those" lines. And who let Tom Baker away with passing off obvious gibberish as fluent mandarin?
