Government and all that

I have lived in London for many years and have never been quite so freaked out and surprised by the public's behaviour as now.  Over the last few days with the Clegg and Cameron coalition the press have been all over College Green - the patch of grass opposite the Houses of Parliament.  This has resulted in the world and his wife walking and talking there and generally trying to be seen on TV.  Do any of them realise how idiotic they  look - imagine being the children of a man who just wanted to be seen there - how embarrassing.  The British never used to be so keen to show themselves up; now we are some of the biggest show-offs in the world.
