They get free newspapers in First Class. I have, allegedly, had altercations with Guards about my movement of said papers from First to Cattle class. I sometimes nervously retrieve used copies in the morning for my later reading pleasure. Also, allegedly. So tonight it was with some glee that I watched a man brazenly strike a blow for us Little People. He wore a suit. I think that confused the Customer ‘Service’ automatons. They stood as guardians protecting the doors to luxury travel with armloads of clean fresh evening papers. Our hero strode boldly towards the door, as if to enter, and took the Evening Standard obsequiously offered. And then, as though he considered this carriage not fine enough, he turned and walked up the train. All the way to us cheering proles as the end. When the Revolution comes, we won’t even need suits.
