The Prime Minister of Japan seems to like his gift from Canada – and it’s just delightful
Shinzō Abe is the Prime Minister of Japan and, as such, has to make overseas trips to discuss great matters of state and international diplomacy, which means he sometimes receives gifts he may not have chosen for himself, like this one from Canada’s Justin Trudeau.

Insert your own joke about politicians and beaver – we’re far too mature for that.
These are some of the many reactions to the PM’s tacky delightful memento.

Dear Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau – I know I’m not a Prime Minister, but will you PLEASE send me a beaver door knocker too? Thanks in advance. https://t.co/6k5GHWBa76

The Japanese really are the world's most polite people. Almost any other world leader would have "forgotten" the gift in the hotel room … https://t.co/QQMNclwkiB

I've got a lot of work to do but I've just watched this five times.

Just so you don’t feel cheated out of Carry On Politics content, here’s the joke we avoided making.
Here's a man who takes the job of nailing a beaver very seriously
