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.

The BBC are even blaming us for the holocaust:
Why did ordinary people commit atrocities in the Holocaust?
I guess Natasha Kaplinsky's name is in the frame for this one as the reporter of record.
