Ironically Chaplin is believed to have been born four days before Adolf Hitler, whom he parodied in the 1940 film The Great Dictator.
That's not irony you fools, it's sarcasm.

He was sarcastically born 4 days before Hitler?

Military Intelligence......When you read a list of communists who attended a meeting in Woolwhich. 1954. The names faithfully recorded on some dank cold November night from a register.
Ben Dover--Nora Balsoff--Mike Hunt--Sirdah Jamitupya--and on and on.(Though SAW KOK was a real name, I can testify to that) It was the only name with a question mark against it!

Well it's vital national work, some idiot has to do it, whilst the Director of MI5 is warm as toast in his London Club.

I have a lot of time for Charlie, I admired the man.
