- A new establishment of ‘meddlesome overlords’ has seized control of most of our major institutions
Britain is in the middle of a new class war and Boris Johnson’s historic mission is to fix it. The conflict isn’t a struggle between haves and have-nots, capital owners and workers or even between the “two nations” identified by Disraeli in Sybil in 1845. It’s only indirectly a battle between Brexiteers and Remainers, and only partly a fight between supporters of free markets and believers in government intervention. Instead, as Michael Lind, the US academic, argues in The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Metropolitan Elite, the real clash is between a highly credentialed, entitled, managerial and technocratic class that has seized control of the most powerful public and private institutions and is using them to serve its economic interests and impose its faddish worldview; and an alienated, ignored and denigrated “working class” that has lost control.
