I was startled to be reminded that Labour's canonised St. Polly of Toynbee was actually a founder member of several SDP organisations and stood (unsuccessfully) for the 1983 election at Lewisham.
Judas? Whither art thou?
Oh, no. St Anne's. Might be something to do with this:
This from the woman who rails against privilege.Polly Toynbee was born at Yafford on the Isle of Wight,[3] the second daughter of the literary critic Philip Toynbee (by his first wife Anne), granddaughter of the historian Arnold J. Toynbee, and great-great niece of philanthropist and economic historian Arnold Toynbee, after whom Toynbee Hall in the East End of London is named.![]()
Yes but she is entitled to her privilege, she would argue, because it was won for her by her father, grandfather and great-great uncle.
Not like those stupid hereditary peers at all.
