В принципе почти все есть на ютюбах и тп., но в какой-то момент гавеное качество начинает реально доставать, т.ч. лучше уж так (ed2k links):

Покамест мне особенно понравился Mayfair Set, видимо, п.ч. я очень плохо знаю послевоенную историю Англии (проклятое французское воспитание, между прочим да). Детально рассказано какими путями британская аристократия (upper classes, xexe) потеряла свои позиции в обществе, как власть перешла от политиков к биржевым спекулянтам, весь британский социализм пошел под хвост, и что из этого вышло. Фигурирует Сорос. Ахуенно интересно.
