i listened to this and, although he could have worded it better, understood / kind of agreed with what he said.
He said during the interview that he didn't think he was any better than anyone else just because they happen to be in second class, but i think the point he was trying to get across was that first class would be a more suitable environment to get some work done whilst traveling.
I think that MP's get a first class rail warrant by default anyway.. the same way that middle managers above a certain grade in the Civil Service do.
There is another, far more sensible, difference between First and Standard class - in First there are three seats plus the aisle accross the train and Standard is compressed to four plus the aisle (not sure about the leg room when opposite)
Two large people cannot sit comfortably side by side in standard class. I am not overweight (well very little!) but am big framed and had to sit all the way to London from the East Midlands next to an obese woman who kept jiffling as she overhung the central aisle by at least one third of her body mass- I felt quite ill from being squashed by the time I got to St Pancras.
Plim :sad:
I suggest the Bus.
Maybe it could reverse back over him after the first impact too.
Just to be sure like

YOU getting your tits out on a train could be an added attraction....
Due to 'Beeching Axes' we do not have a local railway so rarely travel on a train at all
Spectacular.
What party is he again?
