Reply To: Billionaire complaining about people complaining they are poor

Bijou Drains – I always recall my father angrily criticising some in his farm-labourer family and many other folks he knew for touching the forelock to their “betters”.

For a very long time in Scotland, workers in the countryside would always vote Tory. (Countryside Alliance?)

He had an ingrained hatred for the affluent “gentleman farmer”.

He recommended I get a copy of Thomas Johnston’s Our Noble Families to discover the truth of their noble history which I eventually did get hold of with a degree of difficulty because when he became a respectable Labour MP and Minister, Johnston did his best to destroy copies of his book.
