I think the moral must be, if you can get away with it for long enough, people will be duped into thinking you're harmless.

I was making the exact same comparisons, Livia, to to the leniency shown to perpetrators of hideous war crimes and mass genocide who managed to evade justice for so long. I know this cannot compare in severity to that, but what HE and HIS people are responsible for is heinous and yet the public appear more interested in hanging David Cameron. Sadly it appears being old means no longer being culpable.
