You can’t just discount the wallpaper in great affairs of state sinkov. Some say that the Emperor Napoleon himself was killed by the arsenic laced wallpaper in his lodgings on St Helena.

In July 1815, the Emperor Napoleon turned himself in to the British Navy at their base on the Île-d'Aix, just off the French coast near Rochefort. We used to visit it every summer when we lived in France, and would always nip into the Napoleon Museum, which was the house where he was incarcerated during his four days on the island. He left the island on board HMS Bellerophon on July 15th 1815, never again to set foot on French soil. In the museum there is/was a chair which Napoleon had sat on, and a sign saying 'Ne Pas Toucher'. Once when no one was around, I climbed over the rope and plonked my bottom where the great man had once plonked his.

As I was saying Outwood, I only concern myself with the great affairs of state.
