Not likely ~ much more likely is that he already knows about all the gays in the foreign office and he’s just not up to servicing all of them ~ so he stays away.

Much later, as Prime Minister for the second time, he ordered the repression of the 1952 Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya. The ensuing torture caught up many uninvolved Kenyans, and just like many modern "anti-terror" campaigns, radicalised them and their friends and family too. One earlier victim of this approach was Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather. No wonder the bust's going back

Wikipedia today says “The name Mau Mau for the rebel movement was not coined by the movement itself- they called themselves Muingi (”The Movement”), Muigwithania (”The Understanding”), Muma wa Uiguano (”The Oath of Unity”) or simply “The KCA”, after the Kikuyu Central Association that created the impetus for the insurgency. Veterans of the independence movement referred to themselves as the “Land and Freedom Army” in English.” It also gives an Etymology section, which gives one to understand no one really knows where “mao mao” or “mau mau” comes from. I’ve always thought it was from the chinese — mao mao fu fu. “Horse horse, tiger tiger”
