hums every morning

From an interview with John Pilger in today's The Guide supplement in The Guardian

Q: Who wants to be a millionaire?

A: This is the song Tony Blair hums every morning when he rises and tots up his latest windfall — a million for telling business groups in China nothing they didn't know, three or four million for buying JP Morgan influence in whatever corridors of power he imagines still welcome him. That this criminal, awash in a nation's blood, is so enriched and deluded that he believes he should be president of Europe is a shame upon all of us in Britain who deny his prosecution.

That's breviary stuff, that is.
