"mate: you are 55 – FIFTY-FIVE – years old. How, how can you possibly still be w**king on about any of this, in public, as though it was still the best thing you’ve ever done? Can it really be because it was? [Spoiler: yes.]"
I can't stand her. Why she has such a chip on her shoulder about Eton I can't imagine, unless it's because her aristocratic forebears lacked the wherweithall to pass the entrance exam.
I like her more now that I’ve seen what she looks like. Attractive in the sort of posh English way that is almost designed specifically to wind up clergham. I approve.
I would rather have a 1917 style Revolution and get rid of all these people entirely, than be governed by their supercillious dregs, with their undisguised disdain for working class people and culture, coupled with their equal disdain for all the positive values and morality of their own class.
Most working class people would give an arm and a leg for the benefit of an education from a wonderful school like Eton. That she can sit and write this dross, effectively mocking those benefits of a classical education, and by implication anyone who aspires to it, is sickening.
So what? I don't purport to be working class. But nor do I mock their values, as she routinely does. Nor do I mock the values of the traditional upper class, which once upon a time actually respected the working person, rather than patronised them in cheap newspaper articles.

Check your notes we did this uber-privileged WASP last week.
She would not be friends with anyone called Linda, way too common.

Isn’t she the daughter of an earl or something? I’d have thought you’d heart her

She is literally the worst sort of person.
Power and influence without responsibility.
The benefit of a luxurious upbringing without any sense of noblesse oblige.
Knowledge without wisdom.

Dux I can only assume you find her insights into a certain kind of English man intolerable to bear
the boris column was sublime - the less/fewer thing *chefs kiss*

Dux you are the least working class person I've ever met
she has zero disdain for the working class and if you'd ever read anything she writes youd know it.

Dux has finessed and elevated the thinking on Hyde to a new high watermark. Boss man.

The less/ fewer thing was very good. I imagine she cribbed it from some wag at a dinner party last week in Ladbroke Grove but even so still good.
