They poke a dog in a cage for hours when nobody is looking. And then when the dog finally barks, they act terrified and tell the world the dog is mad. 
This is not about a dog… 


It is the most diabolical trick in the book, mate. 
The most insidious piece of theatre. And I see it performed by these respectable types every single bleeding day. 


You got someone who plays the absolute sane in public, yeah, charming, gentle. 
Butter wouldn’t melt in the mouth, would it?
But beyond closed doors, hmm?
No. They are psychological terrorist, mate. 


They whisper poison in your ear, they needle ya. They deliberately push every single button you’ve got, just waiting for the explosion… And why is that? Because the second you finally lose your temper, the second you scream or cry in self defense, you have lost the argument to the audience.


They remain perfectly calm, don’t they?
While you look completely unhinged. And then they use your own pain as proof that you are the problem. It is the ultimate con job, performed by cowards wearing very expensive costumes.
