British Chancellor Caught Without a Ticket on a Train

Actually he was caught with a second class ticket in a first class carriage.
Stupidly he tried to bluff and argue his way out, and refused to move to second class or pay up, eventually having to pay up.
It would have been better i think if he had asked, ‘What’s a ticket?’, or told the jobsworth, ‘Go away or I will close down the railways’.
