Personally I find those endearing qualities. Maybe if some of the other Westminster Grandees mixed with (us) the Hoi Polloi in the local pubs and working men's clubs like Nigel Farage does, they might get an idea of exactly how the average person lives...and in some cases, survives. Instead of which they are aloof, and completely oblivious to what is going on in the real world, outside their own little bubbles and ivory towers.

And just because Farage is an ex MB, that doesn't mean to exclude him from having an affinity, and to empathise with the man on the Clapham omnibus. A rare species no doubt, but never-the-less not extinct.
