Strangely, or not so strangely, Pinochet has now sought refuge in a psychiatric hospital, presumably the modern equivalent of seeking sanctuary at the mediaeval church gates.

According to Sky News, it is Grovelands Priory in Southgate, North London, although the BBC just politely says he has gone to a private hospital.

He seems to be a bit short of spin doctors.
