HENRY FOWLER and ROB POOLE explain the significance of today’s Megapicket
THERE is a professor on the TV telling you that Britain is run by a “new elite of radical, woke, middle-class liberals” who want to stop you from feeling “British” enough — and that it is the real problem, not the “old elite” which is “defined by its extreme wealth.”
So what does it matter if both the professor and the channel are backed by the Dubai-based investment firm of a New Zealand billionaire? Somebody who is distinctly not British, but is very wealthy, is paying somebody else to tell us we should worry about “Britishness,” and worry about immigration and gender — but not worry about extreme wealth.
It sounds like somebody is using a lot of money to play a very obvious sleight of hand.
