You don't think there was actually a cogent point within the usual bilious tirade, do you?
The usual de haut en bas lefty nonsense that treats the lower orders as hopeless children who cannot possibly ever be held responsible for their actions.

No. I think the lower orders have been infantilised by decades of socialism and welfare dependency. Her attitude is simply the mechanism whereby the self-fulfilling prophecy of such dependency has come about.But this is where you get into difficulty, isn't it, because that's exactly what you think too (as do I)
So the lower orders have such little agency that they're entirely susceptible to having their attitudes and behaviours influenced shaped by political ideology?
Sounds a bit like something Andrew Adonis might say about Brexit voters
