It would almost be like being a central banker with all these people at my mercy. If time were no object I would go through the people, finding out their line of work etc. Surely one of these people would be in a line of work that I consider questionable and so that person would take the bullet. I don't want to take a life, but if it is a banker or an economist, I could sleep more easily knowing that I did some good.
In that case I would shoot the Tory MP.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
