I had to laugh at something I read this morning citing Corbyn being a middle-class north Londoner as a reason for him being unable to appeal to working-class communities. I'd like to know what appeal old Etonians, Jacob William Rees-Mogg, and Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson, had to working-class communities? Anyone?
Slightly more realistic policies and acceptance of the majority of the nations wish for Brexit to be finalised would be my guess.
TBH we need to get over this class thing, it's a red Herring IMO. There are plenty of people from ordinary backgrounds who could go to the top if they had the balls or could be bothered, Mrs Thatcher is a perfect example (minus the balls or maybe not
). It's just an excuse. These days most people are happy to make a killing and retire young whilst giving nothing back.
