“Dress and shoes by Edward Snowden.”
Given the Guardianista tendency to shoehorn politics into every conceivable crevice, I suppose these things will happen.

The collective mass of Classic Sentences may be about to experience an upsurge with this.
Blimey. What an obnoxious, anhedonic little tit this Brian Logan is. He inadvertently captures the feel of the Guardian and the nasty taste it leaves. Logan’s argument, such as it is, is basically that Mr Whitehall should feel guilty, and look guilty, about his relatively posh or middle-class upbringing – a detail over which he had no control. And this from Mr Logan, whose own background involves theatre companies, theatre criticism and writing for the Guardian, none of which exactly screams “authentic proletarian.”
I did laugh, though, at one of Whitehall’s jokes (and at which our earnest Guardianista tuts disapprovingly): “Not all of the cabinet are that posh: Michael Gove’s actually from quite a rough background. He’s only been skiing, like, twice.” But it’s good to know that posh people simply aren’t allowed to be funny without first subjecting themselves to angry, Marxoid self-critique, followed by lengthy and public atonement for having parents who did well in life.

So what does Brian Logan make of Peter Cook, Stephen Fry and the Monty Python people?
I very much doubt Mr Logan is concerned with coherence or realism or whether a thing is actually funny. What he wants, I think, is purity. The Church of Social Justice™ must come first.
And speaking of purity:

Google the term “belly dance” and the first images the search engine offers are of white women in flowing, diaphanous skirts, playing at brownness. How did this become acceptable?

Yes, those damn cracker belly dancers are at it again.
