But Mumma might have stopped future messages by clicking on a highlighted link, something he refused to do because, he says, "that just gets you on more spam lists." Maybe so.

He sends his servants' children to costly international schools; he puts up an incessant parade of deserving cases at his government quarters (from a disabled Nigerian asylum seeker to the abandoned son of destitute Chinese refugees); and, despite warnings of treason on the eve of the 1982 Falklands war, insists on dining with the Argentine consul, who is about to be deported, "because he is a family friend."
