Yep. The great parrot scene from 'The Killing', best of all the film noirs for me.

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.

A black and white photograph from above showing the extensive grounds surrounding the gigantic palace on Embassy Row, Washington DC that the British Ambassador gets to live in whilst paid Β£10,000 per week for the privilege.

Abhorrent ghoul, Peter Mandelson was paid Β£10,000 every week as US Ambassador. That's on top of living here (not the British Embassy, you understand, it's the Ambassador's Residence).

He demanded Β£500,000 severance pay & didn't deserve the Β£75,000 he got, especially an extra Β£34,670 paid as a gift.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says β€œthey’re having problems with their economy again.”

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we completely misread When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate and moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paed...

We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.
