Is our English language, as we know it, capable of sustaining demagoguery?

Hugh Laurie’s “translations” are fabulous! You have to watch to understand how funny it is:

    Oh how I love A bit of Fry and Laurie :)

    But what I adore is Jeeves and Wooster. For anyone who has not seen it I would highly recommend it.
    It is witty, clever and set in my favorite period in history…
    And you know what? This was filmed in the 80s I think and I can say without a shadow of a doubt, Hugh Laurie looks way better in ahem his older days :)

    Demagogues, indeed!
