And still the attempts at class war continue.
Owen Jones, in an article for today's Independent, argues that a small clique of privileged people are running the United Kingdom:

He seems unaware of the fact that to the average person in a queue in a Greggs bakery the Oxbridge-educated writer Owen Jones will be a privileged "toff" who doesn't have a proper job.
He also refers to The Sun being a "loyal Tory rag" presumably oblivious to the fact that for about fifteen years it was a loyal Labour rag, and when it changed sides in about 2009 the Labour hierarchy was so enraged we saw on the news a trade union leader ripping up a copy of The Sun in a fit of pique to the cheers of a Labour supporters.
It would have been more convincing to have ripped the newspaper up before it had changed sides.
In any case the support of The Sun is a curse, not a blessing.
