Interesting choice of title.

You will no doubt get the 10 pages of class war you are seeking. Another chance for some RL fans members to feel part of the 'us' in the never ending struggle against 'them'.

He's an arrogant nice guy

Seemingly a complete non story spawned by a journalist who was sitting in a different carriage yet claims to have full knowledge of what was said.

'tis a bit of a non-story really.

The real story was with the train manager who must have thought that his god was smiling down on him the day that the man who almost lost him his job boarded his train and sat in the wrong section, I bet when that aide was asked the second time for the upgrade cost he/she was one "No" away from being met at the next station by the BTP.

According to her report, Gideon's aide came and spoke to the ticket officer to suggest the Chancellor should be allowed to stay in first, within earshot of the reporter, and presumably others. Regardless of that, people are everywhere and could have presented the same report, via Twitter for example.

It's got currency because a reporter was there, but which ever way you cut it, it's arrogance, and ignorant too. Did he REALLY expect that no one would say anything?

So a man makes a mistake, is informed of mistake, upgrades so that there is no fuss and everything is completely legitimate and all is well with the world.
This probably happens about 20-30 times a day and of those 20-30 you may just get one every third day complain and kick off.

Oh...he's a Tory and what's that? he's rich as well... well then, sub human scum

Some peoples political leanings completely override all sense and decency.

Complete non story of the highest order.

Are you really that keen to jump to his defence that you didn't bother to actually read the details of what happened first? Or are you just glossing over them for effect?

Oh - and it's not the first time he's done this either. Rather worrying lack of attention for the man supposedly running the economy, wouldn't you say?

Who cares, really?

Politics is becoming so bloody childish.

He's a human, no one is perfect, no one.

We'll all try it then shall we?

Rich man tries to get something for nothing. He should be ashamed. As Kosh says, he's done it before too.
