Cleggie’s advisors have clearly not heard of Marie Antionette, who built a pretend rural idyll called Hameau de La Reine where she would dress up as a milkmaid. No doubt she would have said (but in a Frenchified way) "It’s about practicing what we preach and selling the benefits of apprenticeships to young people and employers. Check out that delicious cake!"
As Wikipedia remarks, “The extravagance and subtle mockery of peasant life did not help Marie Antoinette’s already suffering image.”
