Here's a refreshingly unspun peek into the soul of the millionaire cabinet – Oliver Letwin's leaked remark that "we don't want more people from Sheffield flying away on cheap holidays". I'm certainly not advocating unlimited access to the skies. But Letwin's remark is not about cheap air travel or global warming, it's about attitude. Air travel is OK for people from the south-east and some areas of London (from which the poor are soon also to be excluded) but not OK for "people from Sheffield". Because "people from Sheffield" is a euphemism for that "c" word we don't use anymore, because we're all equal now, we're all in this together, and the cuts are going to affect us all equally. Yes, "people from Sheffield" means "working class".

And let's face it, nice people winging to our second homes in the Dordogne and Tuscany, or to faraway luxury destinations, are frankly embarrassed by our compatriots who speak weird and drink the wrong kinds of booze, and demand naff food such as crisp butties and brown sauce (ha ha). They should stick to Blackpool or windswept caravan parks on the east coast that cater for those sorts of tastes, where they'll be much happier anyway, because all this travel just makes them restless and dissatisfied, especially when they realise they can't afford it any more.

Just a word of warning, though. People from Sheffield take their leisure seriously. Remember when they decided the Peak District moorland shouldn't be reserved just for shooting parties and grouse? It started with a mass trespass (OK some Mancunians were involved too) but it ended with National Parks and the right to roam. Where will it end this time? I don't know, but the sky's the limit.
