The latest to make himself look like a complete pranny is Ken Livingstone.
Visiting New Delhi, he is pictured clad in a fetching shiny green turban and cape (below). As far as I am aware this is not Livingstone's normal attire. He cannot claim that he is respecting cultural sensitivities because the man behind him - an Indian - is dressed in normal clothes.
Why do our politicians adopt such a patronising attitude?
