Download Song Free https://www.reverbnation.com/amannamedjonz/song/25655771-democracy-manifest "Democracy Manifest" (also known as "Succulent Chinese Meal", among other names) is a 1990 Australian news segment video by reporter Chris Reason. It is "one of Australia's most viral videos", according to Sportsbet.[1] The Guardian called it "perhaps the pre-eminent Australian meme of the past 10 years".[2] YouTube has several postings of the video, and they "have more than one million views each".[3]

It features a man who is being arrested[A] at a Fortitude Valley Chinese restaurant for the purported crime of "dine and dash". Wrestled into a police car, he speaks with the commanding voice of a trained stage actor. As the police fumble, he exclaims "This is Democracy Manifest", "Get your hand off my penis!", "What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?", and "I see you know your Judo well".[4]

The video was made in 1990, but it was not uploaded to the Internet until 2009. A mystery developed about who the man was, with theories centring on Hungarian chess player Paul Charles Dozsa known for his dine and dash exploits. In 2020, an aging Australian man, later identified as Cecil George Edwards, appeared in a music video by an Australian punk rock band, The Chats, that revealed his true identity as the man in the now-viral 1990 video. Edwards, who was a petty criminal and used several different aliases, was wrongfully arrested in a bungled sting operation by the Queensland Police Service.
