"a party of great vested interests, banded together in a formidable 
confederation, corruption at home, aggression to cover it up

public-house, dear food for the millions, cheap labour for the 
millionaire."

Winston Churchill describing 1904 England; cited by Lewis Lapham in 
the March 2002 Harper's
