Agreed, but it is the sort of thing you might expect the Duke of Edinburgh to come out with, big grin

I suggested on another thread that the Mcs might be versed in NLP techniques, without even realising it. They seem to be able to mesmerise people (in the very literal sense of the word), even via the media. I've read that they've even manage to get their critics onside once they meet them in person.

One thing that struck me ages ago was the weirdly slow response by KM to BBC's Jane Hill when she was asked why she hadn't joined the search for MM. The question takes moments to sink in, during which KM tuts and stalls as if she's lost her script. Then she answers with a non sequitur about being really busy. As usual, the journalist doesn't ask the blindingly obvious question - busy doing what, Kate?

But I've always thought KM looks like someone who is under some sort of mind control herself at that particular point.

I agree that there is something suggestive of a cult going on in this case. People who come into their orbit seem to take leave of their senses. Even Paxman had only had one pop at GM and after GM came on with that weird smile he went uncharacteristically coy.

That wasn't a smile that was a sociopath showing his teeth.
