I don’t have the polite language to describe this

THE WHIP is contacted by a source who works for the company involved in the G20 Summit being held at Excel in London’s Canning Town next month.

�Although smoking is banned within work places in the UK and has been a vigorously enforced Labour policy, it is being allowed at the G20 summit – indeed, there is a smoking lounge,� he reports.

And I get an email explaining a little more:

The smoking ban legislation in force since 1 July 2007 in England is being amended for the G20 Summit being held in April at the Excel Exhibition Centre in Docklands, London.

It has been revealed that smoking rooms will be allowed at the venue.

I cannot explain my feelings about this sort of thing in language polite enough to use on a blog like this.

There’s one law for the rulers and another for the ruled. The politicians aren’t being held to the same rules and regulations as the rest of us. I’m sorry, but this sort of contempt for us, the people, by those who set themselves up over us has me boiling with rage.

I’m afraid you’ll have to imagine the language I’d like to use to describe this.
