At least Chairman Mao had some thoughts. It is not so much him that needs medical supervision - more that we all need him to be medically supervised.

It's all fun, folks. Global manufacturing slowdown: What the experts say The big picture this morning is that the world’s factories had a poor February. While UK manufacturing was propped up by stockpiling, the eurozone suffered its worst month in over five years, Japan stumbled, and China...

For the avoidance of doubt: I never trusted him then. Nor now. Nor did I find him amusing in his clowning outings (such as Have I Got News For You). Or the numerous bloke-in-a-pub interviews.
