Seconded!

I'm really surprised that he responded so well when he got the custard thrown on him. He strikes me as the sort of self-important twonk who'd be an ideal target for a custard pie in the face - everyone loathes him, he thinks the world of himself but wouldn't want to tarnish his image by prosecuting a pie-er even if he was livid. Sort of like Portillo circa 1996.

But he actually took it with moderate grace. Still a globalising murderous weasel though.

Possibly trying to keep his mildly 'behind the scenes, don't want tooo much publicity' persona.... Pusuing a prosecution would have dragged him into the courts and an ensuing circus.

He's part of the REAL power in this country.
