This must be the biggest collection of scoundrels in the world. There are 27 of them. No, more 28: Mugabe has just arrived hot from his democratic vote in Zimbabwe.

Sitting there at their enormous table, they seem to be chatting amiably, but it's far less innocent than that.

They're plotting something, once again, searching for a way to put one over -- and a really big one, this time -- on the people they represent.

They've been working on it for a long time and now they can reveal their hand.

Mugabe is to be sent to Ireland to show Biffo how to win an election.
