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.

First sighting

I have been irritated by this for some time, but the most recent sighting and the first of the campaign
is Ed Balls on the Andrew Marr show, Sunday 15th Feb 2015.
