Brilliant article Francis, fascinating stuff.

I love the ‘Obama’s fainting ladies’ compilation.

I remember on 9/11 Rumsfeld went AWOL and it transpired he was out on the Pentagon lawn helping the First Responders. The audacity was breathtaking since he obviously knew the attack was coming.

And then there was Matt Hancock crying the fakest of tears live on TV as he announced the vaccine roll-out.

It reminded of a great scene from the ‘I Claudius’ TV series years ago.

Caligula is delivering the funeral oration for a man whose assassination he had secretly ordered.

And he hid an onion in the sleeve of his toga so he could fake some tears!
