Unsuited

There is a passage in Peter Oborne's superlative The Triumph of The Political Class in which he describes Gordon Brown, suited and tied, asked to go and change for something, and returning wearing ... a different tie. Politics, you see, is the only thing that they ever do. They don't even own the clothes for anything else. But not even Brown as ever appeared in the sands of Afghanistan dark-suited, white-shirted, and tied. This week, that was what David Cameron did. Think on.
