What about http://photos1.blogger.com/img/138/3646/320/goffarafat.jpg ?
That was not a proud moment for the Labour Government either.

How about Mr Bhatnagar's spiritual leader shaking hands with that secular Beast at http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/handshake300.jpg
Not a proud moment, or was it? Bet Mr Brash, in the hypothetical case he was PM, wouldn't mind shaking hands with anyone either.
