They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good.

Neo-Labour fundraiser Levy arrested

BBC

Tony Blair's chief fundraiser Lord Levy has been arrested.

His arrest is in connection with the "cash-for-honours" inquiry by the Metropolitan Police.

Lord Levy, 61, made his money in the music industry in the 1960s and 1970s, managing singers including Alvin Stardust and Chris Rea.
