Thanks Eva and Avital for the clarification of that. The English are
well-know for seeing a joke if there is one, and we like nothing better than
"humiliation" (the everyday version of the slipping on a banana skin joke),
not only of foreign politicians, notables and "celebrities", but our own as
well.

One of our politicians must be heartily sick of seeing himself wagging his
head and making meaningless mouthings when he was Secretary of State for
Wales (or something to do with Wales), couldn't speak Welsh, didn't know the
Welsh anthem, and made a complete idiot of himself tryig to pretend that he
could sing the words along with everyone else who were singing with gusto.

Another is frequently shown either punching a member of the public or at his
political party's celebrations caught on film "dad dancing" - you know, the
kind of dancing that dad's do when they think they can dance like their
children.

And a former Prime Minister was allowing filming before he had a private
holiday, walking on the beach with his wife, when they both ended up falling
over trying to get away from the waves which would have soaked them - pride
goes before a fall.

If there's a joke in there, we'll find it.
