And all this class war rubbish being printed in rags like the Guardian over the past few days annoys me.

Does it make him somehow unable to connect to poorer people in society?
It's a load of crap by those obsessed with class distinction and using it to cast aspersions on the Tories.
I have a working class background growing up on a council estate and Id rather have posh people in power than state educated, champagne socialists like John Prescott who shags his mistress in the back rooms of the house of commons and plays croquet at Chequers whilst he was left in charge of the country.

Absolutely agree. I hate snobs, and that includes reverse snobs who just end up sounding like the envious whingers they are. I, too, was brought up on a council estate, have a working class background, and a healthy respect for education. Apparently it is now a hanging offence, according to the bitter Labour supporters whose crap party LOST, to be privately educated, despite the fact that several senior members of the Labour cabinet sent their bloody sprogs to private schools. Rank hypocrisy.
Labour has always been the politics of envy. It used to be "what we can't have we will deprive others of", but under New Labour it was refined to"Do as I say, not do as a I do".
