p.s. Don't complain to me about the Latin, which DeepL translates as "Behold! Nigel the Frog attacks from the ground with a water-tank on his head." Remember the tapestry is woven from a French point of view.

@cmsdengl@mas.to Hm I think they meant to say "Behold! Nigel Farage is attacked by a man with a bin on his head." but they misspelled "homine"

@cmsdengl@mas.to While the Latin is horrible 😀 What the author means: "Nigel Farage is attacked by […]" (passive). But aggredi in Latin is a deponens (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deponent…) which turns the meaning into the opposite: "Nigel Farage attacks […]" "humine" should be "homine" and "cisterna super capite" sounds questionable at least. Now write it out a hundred times! youtube.com/watch?v=0lczHvB3Y9…
