What Wen Jiabao said to David Cameron

Of course I wasn’t there, but I have a feeling it went something like this.

‘Quit moaning about the dissidents or no business from us, you spent old hasbeen of a nation.

‘And we haven’t forgotten the opium wars, either.’

Recommendation for DSO for Adam Boulton of Sky News who asked when the Chinese might be improving their human rights record.

By all accounts Cameron looked deeply uncomfortable and Jiabao looked decidly displeased.

Reminded me of the moment in Catch 22 when General Dreedle demands that Major Danby is taken out and shot for moaning.

Image of Cameron-Cathcart spluttering: ‘I’m afraid we don’t do that here, sir.’

And Jiabao muttering: ‘Not now, you don’t.’
