There is an apocryphal story about a pupil at Eton beginning an essay on poverty thus:

"The mother was poor, the father was poor, the butler was poor ... "

'Dave' Cameron lives up to this tradition, it would seem, with the emergence of news that he has his chauffeur bring his shoes and briefcase to work in his (otherwise empty) car, whilst he cycles in front.

Oh dear - not a good revelation for Mr. Cameron. I just commented on this post, saying that I doubted Cameron's genuine intentions.

This seems to underline that view. Yes, the cycling around was a good photo-op, but the moral posturing that accompanied it has been shown to be false. And we wonder why people don't trust politicians!
