*chuckle* It wasn't until I was doing some recent reading in the matter that I found out what a devious little fellow Wilson was (well, I was only really into US politics back then, what can I say?).
Mandelson really is a piece of work, to be sure. The whole deal with his history is bizarre; almost feels like Dick Cheney's weird "I'll run this from back here' deal with Dubya in his present position as Lord High Panjandrum.
Thanks for the link to that BBC story about Irish financial boom and bust; doesn't surprise me (nor similar stories in the Wild East of Europe and in Iceland).
Didn't know anything about George-Brown either; thanks for that tip.
