Less Ordinary

I am irritated by (mostly) politicians and (also) media-types referring to "ordinary people". I don't mind being a regular, normal, ordinary chap, but when they wield it, the phrase comes with the patronising implication that they are somehow better than ordinary. And as we have seen for a long time and especially in recent years, many politicians in particular and journalists in general tend to range from 'ordinary' downwards. I log occurrences here and send offenders a postcard.

#3 Moral Maze

There was an occurrence on BBC Radio 4's Moral Maze tonight. I believe the interviewee was from an organisation called Involve, but I didn't quite catch the name. I'll listen again.
It was Ed Mayo.
Involve has provided a transcript here.
