Ha, ha.

No doubt if he does the same thing will happen as supposedly happened 
when Mr Khrushchev made the speech to which you allude.

Sometime into or just after the speech a voice said something like, 
"it's all very well for you to say that now, but why did you not speak 
out when Stalin was alive."

Mr Khrushchev looked round his audience and said, "will the person who 
made that remark put their hand up."

No hand went up.

"That is why I did not speak out earlier."
