Taste, rather than bloodlines, denote social standing these days – and the interior decor at Prescott towers was circa 1958, with chintzy sofas, patterned carpets and lavish drapery. A discussion about class could have debated the impact of the financial crisis, but instead our former deputy PM lumbered around like a polar bear looking for an iceberg. Even more depressing, Prezza admitted that he's not at ease with half of the electorate – the middle classes.
I don't always agree with the woman but here - yes  |
I have to say I'm not a fan either, but I think she has a point here Margaret
