This being postmodern potemkinism, the local peasantry hope that the coverage all this is getting will be such that the news gets through to the leaders, so as they whizz through the town they will know the real story; and their hearts will be touched. My bet is they go another route, excpet Putin, who'll sit there laughing like a drain..."very funny, Mr Cameron...may I call you Grigory?"

Well, we've got the village. Will we ever have the mutiny?
