There can be fewer depressing sights than a politician trying to get down with the 'real' people. Photo opportunities involving pints of beer, cups of tea, fast food or any other perceived preoccupation of the man in the street are legion. In every one of them, the politician looks uncomfortable and desperate to run for the shower to wash away the stench of normality.
Dave and Sam took this to a whole new level of idiocy this week, flying Ryanair from Stansted to Spain. What was this supposed to prove - that we really are all in it together? Travelling alongside us plebs on Ripoffair does not make you real, normal or in tune with the working man. Dave - you are well off. Don't pretend you are not. It is patronising and insulting. Stop pretending that posing as Joe Schmoe will make you sympatico with the people that you are currently screwing. You look unhappy, Sam looks even unhappier and we can see you are proving nothing. Please get back to being the toff we all know you are.
