George Osborne caught fare dodging

[La Poste]

He's a multi millionaire, why is he fare dodging?

George Osborne has been caught travelling in a first class train carriage with a standard class ticket, Virgin Trains have said.

"His aide tells ticket collector he cannot possibly move and sit with the likes of us in standard class and requests he is allowed to remain in First Class."

BBC News - George Osborne 'forced to pay £160 first class train upgrade'

WTF?

I have sat in first class with a standard class ticket. You just pay the upgrade cost. I did it many times when travelling on x country and east coast routes.

I refused to sit with the overcrowded cattle as well.

Is it any wonder that any government can't function in this country with the stupid press micro analysing every move that a politician makes ?, I am all for digging dirt in the national interest , but FFS what next MP Farts on train ? Then accused of deploying a 'Weapon of mass destruction ' ?...lets focus on real policy..or lack of it, jobs,jobs and more jobs is what we need, exports, get the GDP up, the debt down, all this crap is just cover fire for what this government should be doing right and isn't ....
