"Our likely next government will come from a tiny seam of British society. And the nation simply doffs its cap"

Catherine Bennett: The toffs are back - and, frankly, no one gives a damn | Comment is free | The Observer

given most of the labour cabinet are private schooled and the ones with the brains for it, have come through oxbridge, and given the guardian's ownership, editorial line and leading columnists are all public school toffs - wtf are they on about really?

the country's been run by toffs for nulab's entire tenure.

given they're propped up by the revenues from auto trader (although very importantly for wee162, they're not privately owned ) - maybe they shouldn't in fact bother.

Its a paper I look at online if I am looking at the others as well. The Guardian occasionally comes up with a good article, the Mail is always base reactionary rubbish (plus a McCann story every day).

Just New Labours?

The entire political establishment of this country has been dominated by those from public schools for it's entire existence. Unless you count the periods where it has been dominated by the inbred gentry instead.

Not only labour's - although them more than most probably. but the point is that labour were using the toff thing as a campaign jibe!
