Megalomania !

[Bledlow]

For completely nutty dictators, can anyone beat the King of Scotland, aka His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular?

Saparmurat Atayevich Niyazov?

Renamed months after members of his family. Banned the internet. Ordered the closing of hospitals & public libraries outside the capital. Outlawed opera, ballet & the circus. Et cetera.

Niyazov? Done him already...


Enver Hoxha's legacy to Albania has been surprisingly durable - not so much a Maginot Line, more a Maginot country and, militarily, about as useful:

Another physical reminder of his rule is his first name carved into the side of a mountain - you'd think he'd could have scrawled "Enver was here" on a convenient wall or toilet cubicle, just like everyone else who ever channelled their inner Kilroy.

I bet the people of North Korea wish bobb was their leader.

According to The Graun, some Nork officials turned up at a South Ealing hairdressers' salon, demanding that they remove a Kim Jong-un poster:

These evil commies won't put the frighteners on us Ealing types so easily.  They can take their twisted, military-first Juche ideology and shove it up their Demilitarized Zone!

What if they're bald, or haven't got enough hair to have his hairstyle in the first place - shot on sight, presumably?

There's a stain on the hairdresser's window that makes it look as if BelovedDearGreatLeader Kim has a Gorbachov-like birthmark on his forehead. That's probably what really worried them.
