'Oi!!'<br /><br />As I'm sure you know, despite some obfuscatory protestations,the class system is alive and well here in Australia.

But because he is a conservative, the elites will fully accept him but repeat his nonsensical claims to be a man of the people, even after he jetted off to a resort to escape an ice storm that hit his state. <br /><br />Our elites hate being called that, and regardless of their political party, the one thing they can agree on is that the true elite consists of three Women's Studies professors in Massachusetts, a union organizerin California, and some anonymous Twitter commenter with 11 followers. Our elites all agree -- that is the real elite running the country, not them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-11244330131625735432021-08-02T00:00:09.554-07:002021-08-02T00:00:09.554-07:00The English working class gave the world the Beatl...The English working class gave the world the Beatles and football; the toffs gave us an inbred royal family.
