Let them eat cake!

To be fair I sometimes eat salmon and I am a lowly retail worker. 

My wife and I prefer smoked trout, neither of us like salmon.

I see the validity of criticising the pollution caused by excess travel, but critically highlighting "feasting" on salmon and sea bass? Come on, DM! 

If that's a valid criticism, we must be feasting more frequently in PPTowers than I realise...

To be fair I sometimes eat salmon and I am a lowly retail worker. I don't eat it often purely because it is not my first choice when it comes to fish. My favourites tend to be smoked haddock or smoked cod.

Mind you, a good piece of wet fresh haddock - smoked or not - would be useful for the much needed task of slapping Sir Wet Lettuce with it a few times.

The point here is that they are doing all this and at the same time telling us that "we" all have to make big sacrifices......

But confining feasting to salmon and sea bass hardly seems extravagant — they're both easily farmed and reasonably priced.  And housing the feast in existing premises (however ornate), and not erecting a new venue, appears fairly thrifty...

Quite.

The question that springs to mind is it worth saving the world when you have a bunch of sad bastard looking over your shoulder and counting the number of fishpaste sarnies on your plate.

I'm a bit disgruntled like so many others. Rome - Biden apparently has a cavalcade of 85 cars mostly flown over from USA, no doubt others have similar. BJ flew but avoided regular flights that could have got him there at more or less the same time. I suppose there were plenty of private jets etc from all across the world. The wives look like a set of footballers wives off on a jolly and the final straw is the lavish photo opportunities around Rome and dinner in spectacular surroundings.

No doubt when they have had their fill they will mostly fly off to Glasgow for more of the same - if they can get it. Hypocrisy seems too small a word for such profligacy in the face of all the worry and trouble that so many are experiencing around the world. This just may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
