The donkey jacket at the Cenotaph was positively seminal: you couldn't upset the Daily Mail that much in a Paul Smith suit. Ever since those days, we have been subjected to a thing called image: substance reduced to a synthetic expression of oddly naked desire. Funny thing is that Winston Churchill, Mr Icon if ever there was one, used to wear a boiler suit on public outings. Can you imagine David Cameron or Gordon Brown wearing something similar?
Me, I'd quite like to be able to vote for a politican solely on the basis of his or her charity shop wardrobe. Fat chance, these days.
