'men...whose faces give out at every pore the instinct, the desire, the poisons with which their brains are pregnant; not faces so much as masks; masks of weakness, masks of strength, masks of misery, masks of joy, masks of hypocrisy; ...stamped with the indelible signs of a panting cupidity'

Are we still talking Nazi-fancier Nigel Jones of the Spectator and Nazi Nigel Farage?
But whatever would they have had in common to talk about in the club?
