^^^ This is such a great example of the deranged elitist groupthink that dominates the UK’s national discourse.

Holding the door open for fake asylum seekers costing billions while his fellow countrymen are laid off, and pointing the finger at MPs taking a few million between them.

In the U.K. it means taking all your thinking cues from the intellectual elite that orbit Oxford and Cambridge. The sort of people that typically end up as BBC presenters and professors. Viewing yourself as a member of a distinct group of intellectuals that “get it”.

Edit: there is no need to be jumping to stark conclusions which only add to the division being spread throughout the world.

If you disagree that’s fine but it’s quite telling that your response isn’t well thought out or based on any logical argument
