Why would anyone dress as Frank Bruno for halloween?
The point was he was dressing as a dictator, it's political satire and nothing else.

Yes, very true. And looking back I don't think many (if anyone) are arguing he couldn't dress as Kim Jong-un. And that he wasn't ripping the piss out of a specific dictator.

But drawing the line at his use of makeup and prosthetics to portray the "yellow face" stereotype.
