The wonderful Andrew Tickell (aka #PeatWorrier) has some thoughts on the #PeterMurrell saga, at https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2059373652961878261.html
I was particularly struck by his comments on the tackiness of some of #Murrell's purchases. Even in Scotland, British class sensibilities problematise such spending from every angle.
I think of a late friend's Scots uber-aristo granny reportedly speaking in the 1950s of "the middle classes — the sort of people who own fish knives".
