Okay Wayne, we've got five minutes left, fancy a game of Guess Who? World Leaders Edition.
How do I play, Sir?
I give you a clue, you flip down all the ones that don't fit. Ready?
Yes.
Man with charming smile (flip)... uses emergency powers to ban political opposition (flipflip)... paints his face (flipflipflip)... got it?
No Sir, there's two left.
Ah, I'd forgotten Trudeau. Okay, how about recklessly distributes firearms to the general public, calls for amateur outsiders to join the fight and be slaughtered, adopts an old ultranationalist slogan as his army's official greeting and uses it in speeches to foreign parliaments...?
I think I got that on the first one, Sir, you don't have to go on. Why does his name end in two Ys?
It should end in Y-O-Y, because we can't understand why he hasn't negotiated a peace settlement yet.
I think I know, Sir. New game?
Okay.
Old crook (flip)... serves the rich and the military-industrial complex (flip)... going gaga (flipflipflip)...
It's okay, son, I think I've got it.
