Odd standards

RMT union leader Bob Crow has passed away and the media will be full of eulogies. Despite earning a significant multiple of the average wage, he insisted on living in social housing.

Bob Crow could well afford to buy a home in London and therefore release a housing unit for a vulnerable and more needy/less well-off family. Unfortunately, he chose not to. The personal is political. Bob Crow, RIP. Roll on the hypocrisy.
