Thanks for posting this. I haven't watched all of it since it is very 
long. I like how 1953 was summarized... an event few Americans (and 
obvioiusly, few Britains either) know anything about and something the 
news media seems never to mention. I've forwarded this to a few folks 
who, ideology-wise, sit on both sides of the isle.

 I'm posting this link because I can't control my enthusiasm for this
 piece. Although, I confess the most skiffy aspect are the theater
 lights powered by a bicyclist.

It is a interesting way of presenting history.  I haven't looked up 
the history of Britian in Iraq.  Some of the other stuff, I knew but 
didn't put together in my head as policy.  He's surprisingly even-
handed.  He admits that every nation would implement the implied 
policies if they had the power.
