We are entitled to better from those who would be superior

'Entitlement means that you get – or get off with – something simply because of who you are.... We are all too sadly familiar with the sense of entitlement felt by many MPs..... They saw themselves as deserving leaders, not dutiful servants..... We, the “different type of people” in the crowded end of life’s train, admire our leaders, great sportsmen and celebrities. But we support them on the implicit understanding that they keep their end of the deal. We will look up so long as they don’t look down. We will offer respect so long as their standards of behaviour are as high as our own. It’s little enough to ask – and we’re entitled.'
