   This from a man who travels regularly by private jet.

     @Spoon Not from one of his Scottish estates, which are maintained as a barren wasteland, to make them suitable for Grouse shooting? #hypocrite

     The only skill this man has ever exhibited is a very careful choice of parents.

     @Spoon that's even more bamboozling, I can't even guess how that mindset is generated.
