There has been much glee in some quarters at Mandelson getting ’slimed’ with Leila Deen’s ‘Plane Stupid’ green custard, and I must admit that seeing the fopish fucker momentarily distressed was amusing.
However it must be remembered that Plane Stupid is made up of a bunch of eco-poshos, funded by the wealthy, who normally don’t bat an eyelid at disrupting air ambulances, or working class peoples’ holiday plans by their antics.
It is also significant that well-to-do Deen didn’t get arrested. I wonder what would have happened had a working class person carried out the ‘attack’ - face down on the floor, knee on my neck, arms up our backs and cuffed we imagine - but of course she is of the same class as our political leaders.
