Yes it is valid, but it's also obvious.

Most people who fly first class don't actually buy their tickets. They are paid for by whatever company, event etc is employing them to fly out. And a quick google search shows he was in Cape Town as part of a world tour. So the tour company (who like all tour companies do) fly their main act first class. Not quite what the person posting that pic on twitter was trying to make of it, is it.

Nothing to stop him insisting on flying standard class with all the other plebs though, is there?...

It's not exactly the Joe Strummer ethic tho is it?


Also - Talent gets a deal offered to them via their agent/manager. All the perks and privileges are laid out as is their fee/cut. There is nothing in the world that would stop RB saying I don't need this level of perk/privilege, I'll take that as straight pay please. That would be taxable income of course though.

????, when in London, Brand cycles a lot to get to places. As someone who has been to some of those anti-austerity marches, there are all kinds of people there, not just the loony lefty stereotypes that you seem to think everyone who opposes this government is. I do agree he's an egomaniac though, and his treatment of women has been very dubious in the past too.


Don't really know the ins and outs of it all Duncan, just know they don't pay for their own tickets. I think most people though, given the choice, and flying long hual, would go first class if they could. I'm around the same height as Brand (I think) and leg room in economy is an issue.

      Franklins is being sold

      Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic

      I disagree with the use of the word "sectarianism" in this context and Starmer is a total a*se to have introduced it. In my mind, sectarianism conjures up the hatred and vicious violence of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.  The divide between the Greens and Reform are a long way from that and is more reminiscent of a time when the two main parties actually stood for something and voting was more a matter of following one's political beliefs. Nobody called that sectarianism.
