An important note from the late Anthony Bourdain today:

As opposed to a warmongering, morally bankrupt and self serving twister who served his own interests knowing it cost others their lives, and who put in place and supported some of the most despotic and violent regimes of the modern age - which would be significantly more accurate

Oh good grief. Is it a universal rule that men under the age of 30 on Scottish commuter trains must eat the smelliest food they can find? WHO EATS CHEESE AND ONION CRISPS AT 7.30am? Heathen.
