“Labour has been marching through the institutions for 11 years. With the exception of the armed forces, it has not allowed one state body to stay in the hands of natural conservatives.

“….these very same people who happily accuse their opponents of being “toffs” are also the ones who are scrupulous about political correctness and the nomenclature of race, creed, colour and disability.

The prejudice of ascribing character and ability to class is so obvious it barely needs arguing; yet even Polly Toynbee in The Guardian will effortlessly refer to “toffs” as if her own privileged background and education had been whitewashed. She would never dream, though, of referring to didicoys or Paddies or yids.”
