The Coping Classes

The Coping Classes
The “law-abiding, hard-working, tax-paying” middle class.

“Long after the G20 circus has left the capital and the mess has been cleaned up, there will remain, right across [Britain], a festering resentment with disgracefully few legitimate outlets for redress,” wrote Jeff Randall in The Daily Telegraph, “It is the product of frustration, exploitation and a mounting sense of betrayal.”

This is not the synthetic indignation of those who would eat the bankers, but the boiling rage of the United Kingdom’s coping classes – law-abiding, hard-working, tax-paying citizens – who, over the past decade, have despaired as their country’s sovereignty has been dissipated, its freedoms compromised and ancient institutions diminished by a tribe of political pygmies.
