Well, I have no problem repeating it. Okay, one gesture brought the fury of British tabloids against at least two overseas politicians after they met with the Queen. In 1984, it landed a Canadian provincial official, James Snow, on the front page of the Daily Mail where he was described as portly and graceless. In 1992, it put Prime Minister Paul Keating of Australia on the front page of The Sun alongside the headline, Lizard of Oz. What had they done? Did they put an arm around the Queen's shoulder? Did they place a hand on her back in an attempt to steer her? Did they come dangerously close to placing a hand on her back? Or did they walk in front of her? Which one, Bill?
