THE GREAT CORNISH PASTIE SAGA

The Tories are incredulous that George Osbourn's response to a banal question about his consumption of pasties should have created such bad PR, they, literally, just do not get it. And indeed on one level the question is obviously trivial. Though as good proletarian fare goes pasties are perhaps one of mainstays of the daily diet, he could have just as easily been asked when did you last have beans on toast or Kentucky Fried chicken, (one suspect’s never in the last instance). What got up people’s noses was the dismissive wave of the hand, the raised eyes, weary sigh, listen, his body language said, I am here to talk about macro economics, serious subjects, I can’t possibly be engaged in trivial affairs that only effect the lives of the little people.
