I certainly preferred the bloke when he was occupied with his stiffy and his
cigars.  That grinning Pommy git should try it, too.

I suspect this bloke craves his place in history and might fashion a General
Belgrano if things ever do look on the verge of getting sorted.  He copies
the old dowager empress of evil in just about everything else.  His problem
is he might have to try even harder to do the job.  He's such a limp
try-hard - such a smarmy little ex-prefect - that he might have to descend
into even greater depths to match the niche of his role model.  Or is that
too psychologistic for a list like this?

A pretty ghastly duo anyway.  As I see it, our side of this mess is presided
over by an opportunistic still-born adolescent and a weasel who equates
cordite with statesmanship (in the absence of any political raison d'etre
whatsoever, I guess).

Yours miserably,
Rob.
