And he decided this shortly after having dinner with David Geffen. ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/17/lord_mandelson_digit... ) That's Geffen as in "Geffen Records" and "Dreamworks". You know, the files in the "illegal file sharing".

This political position was bought and paid for, and not by the voting public.

It's probably a good point to add that Lord Voldemort is 'Minister for everything' and was not elected, nor does he answer to anyone in the House of Commons (other than Gordon Brown, obviously).
