Hang on, why is all the dropped shopping of the understandably besotted ladies stuffed with beer cans and half bottles of liquor? Its a nicely understated snipe at something, but I don't know what. They cant be feckless scroungers as I doubt they would get fizzy at the clopper over Tories. Are middle class plain women prone to a tipple that would require a stomach pump, or is that what us required to find Boris sexy?
