Senoufou/Eliza referred to Enoch Powell;

the phrase that haunts me comes from
an English translation of a speech by
Ayatollah Khomeini, remember him?

He said that on behalf of his constituents
(no, that isn't what he called them)
he would
"drain the cup of poison ..."

it's important to remember what was said by the person you fear,
not just what was said about that person.
Which brings us to ... erm ... there are too many. I'll stop there.
