Leave it to the British to accuse others of warcrimes.

I mean they are all war criminals. Clinton maybe least of all but I'm not super well versed on his continued bombings of Iraq which I know resulted in bad things for the population.

I'm sure he has Thatcher and Blair in there too. He's made no secret of his hatred of anyone who wages war for profit or ****s up the working class in the name of, again, profit.

I don't remember seeing either on screen during the show. It could be that he alters the content depending on where he is.

It's hard to argue that. Even if they hadn't dropped bombs, they waged war on the poor.

Well The Final Cut was a hate letter to Thatcher, so I'd be very surprised if he hadn't got her there. Is it only living political leaders maybe? I'm sure he'd have Blair in there. But I haven't seen the show so I can't say. I just don't think he accuses based on his politics or whatever; there's blame to go around and he's not afraid to place it anywhere it belongs.

Yeah, and it's clear he has enough hate to go around. To be honest, there was so much to take in (music, *finger quote* lasers), that I probably missed a picture or two. I can tell you there were no pictures of Gilmour to be seen!

The US has become a gerontocracy. Don't you have politicians that are not ancient?

We have a municipal election coming. One of the mayor candidates was mayor years ago. He's 80.

During his time as a provincial member of parliament, his party was so scandal ridden and corrupt, that when the people woke up and voted them out, they won so few seats that they were not considered an official party in the legislature. His slogan was "fighting for you", but the party's policies were more "fighting against you". It's how I thought, anyway.

There comes a time when the piggy has to be weened off the trough. Take your gold plated pension and go already.

There is a definite shortage of candidates for this municipal election. Three incumbents currently have no opposition. One of those incumbents was found to have attempted to bribe a candidate to bow out of the previous election.

If you're going to do a meme at least have it make sense: "All your safe are belong to us"? Is this a Russian thing?
