Okay so he kicked off with a copper and he used language that spoke tellingly of his attitude towards class and, arguably, the Conservative party's attitude. Therefore it was a story those of a left-leaning persuasion (myself included) enjoyed as we got to feel smug that the Tories were living up to their demonised image.

But really. The guy has a hissy fit at a copper. I don't even care about his words being disputed. It just wasn't that big a deal.

Why is it STILL news.
