oil ticks 

The Saudi royal family, and other Saudi aristocrats who, like ticks, drain their country's oil wealth.
"'Our friends the Saudis' are real pieces of work. They denounce domestic terrorism while supporting foreign terrorism through Faustian deal making.

Saudi Arabia could benefit from all of the money that the oil ticks waste spreading their sociopathy."

Munich ticks 

Ticks made on a checklist which are not worth the paper they are written on. Named after the Munich Agreement made in 1938 between Nazi Germany, Italy, France and Great Britain, which then British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain famously hailed as guaranteeing “Peace in our time”. Less than one year later World War II began.

Reporter: Even though you were warned for two years the railway crossing was an accident waiting to happen, you did nothing. Why?

Politician: That's not true. My department did a safety audit of the crossing that ticked all the boxes.

Reporter: But ten people have now died at the crossing, was your audit nothing but Munich ticks?

Politician: I’ll have to look into that.
