Editing BLT (section)

===United Kingdom===
In 2004, the ''[[New Statesman]]'' reported that the sandwich chosen by a politician as his "favourite" is loaded with political symbolism. For example, it suggested that a [[chicken tikka]] sandwich would be a "gentle nod to an imperial past and a firm statement of a multicultural present and future". The article went on to explain that the then [[Leader of the Opposition (United Kingdom)|Leader of the Opposition]] [[William Hague]] had accused the then [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] [[Tony Blair]] of being a hypocrite with regards to food, telling one portion of society that his favourite meal was [[fish and chips]] and another that it was a fresh [[fettuccine]] dish. The conclusion of the article was that Blair chose the BLT as his favourite sandwich, which appeals to all classes.<ref>{{cite news|last=Vigor|first=Anthony|title=Exposed by his sandwich|url=https://www.newstatesman.com/node/159535|access-date=11 February 2011|newspaper=[[New Statesman]]|date=12 April 2004}}</ref>
