Toby Young's free lunch
On Friday, the journalist Toby Young urged everybody ‘who cares about Britain’s future to attend the Rally Against Debt’, a political rally organised in support of the government’s deficit-cutting policies and urging them to go further.
On Saturday, around 350 people turned up. Their brave cheerleader Toby Young was not among them however, because he had instead chosen to attend the launch of the new Pirates exhibition at Museum of London Docklands in West India Quay.
Young pronounced this to be ‘toptastic’, presumably either blissfully unaware or entirely unconcerned that some of those who had helped organise it were about to made redundant under those very government cuts that he did not believe went anywhere near far enough.
Hypocrite, shameless or just an idiot? It’s very hard to tell sometimes.
Still, at least he got a free lunch out of it.
