    Thanks for this. A sad reflection for me is that possibly or probably many who would benefit from this could we asking, “Who is this Shakespeare a comrade or a colonial? Oh, and by the way I think in bygone days when some of us were at school he was known as Billy Waggledagger.

    Great cartoon. I have another one from Shakey: “I do smell all horse-piss — at which my nose is in great indignation”. I can’t remember which play it’s from,, but it might have been the one he wrote about the recent NEC meeting ??
