Look who’s heard about the word ‘Establishment’ now

Somebody please tell all these oddballs, state officials and politicians that they are, by definition, the Establishment. The state’s Commissioner for Laws (even though he has no real job and doesn’t do it anyway) talking as though the Establishment is other people? Oh, the ignorance.

We’re right up against a linguistic and cultural problem here. Imagine their confusion when they discover that establishment without a capital E, in the language with which they are so unfamiliar, actually means a shop or other premises of trade or business. The Café Premier, for instance, was rather a nice establishment at one time.
