Strings of anti-democratic scandals, imperialism, covert wars, secret services spying on its own citizens because of the obsession that they're communist agents. Yes the cold war kept the west very democratic. Or maybe just enough to lay the foundations for the Washington consensus and the triumph of the biggest ever state-corporate collusion.

@jerrymander well the soviet threat was also largely invented - or at least wildly exaggerated - by western spooks and journalists during the cold war, but of course the cold war had the side effect of keeping the west more-or-less democratic, because our freedom was precisely what the eastern bloc didn't have. Since the 1990s, however there's no serious ideological competition, so freedom is more dispensable.

@theocean1973 The guy is the genius that was Tony Wilson, presenter of So It Goes, regional broadcaster and director of Factory Records that brought the world Joy Division, New Order, The Happy Mondays etc etc etc

Cook reminds me of Keith Moon in his interviews...... or was it Keith copied Peter?

Cook was great at keeping a straight face when he was talking nonsense, but CJ nearly got him with the "dancing" at the end. Cook uses the cigarette to hide his smile and gives CJ a look. Brilliant.

"Not Dancing to it, no"

He completely made that alter ego to stop Clive getting close to him

What a beautiful, seismic moment. Derek & Clive and the Sex Pistols in the space of a minute. You can feel the mind prisons of Western snivelization on the verge of exploding.

Ah yes, when freedom was not compromised by largely invented threat.
