    Quoting and seconding this report from my good ol' friend Dan L.:
    <<
    I donąt know if this guy is actually cleverly protesting the protesters that
    he stands with, or just doesnąt see the irony of his little yellow sign. In
    either case, it is grist for the mill, such as it is.

    De-obliquifying for anyone who needs it: The expression in question is often
    quoted as part of a famous Neville-Chamberlain-smiling-paper-waving quote,
    shortly before Hitler hit Poland like a ton of bricks.

    Some sources quote him saying "for" rather than "in"....

    "My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister
    has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for
    our time...
    Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

    O tempora...
