You see that just cynical. As a private citizen you could have friends who have money and perhaps offer their hospitality to you, no one will question, and no one will question when you take your holidays. God forbid a politician take a holiday, as I have previously said they are always on.  The good thing is that politicians have developed a thick skin, and they don't really care what the mean spirited people say, knowing that these people wouldn't never raise themselves high enough to even contemplate getting involved in public service. There stock in trade is to hide anonymously, and offer up  criticisms, which  often as not is a reflection of their own failed lives
