These two are just business people who are targeting certain areas of the country, the disenfranchised and arears with greater deprivation, to increase their financial means (Tommy Robinson owned a nine-hundred thousand pound mansion!!!)without offering anything real back to their supporters.

Regarding your last sentence, if we collectively drew up characteristics of the political elite then I'd wager those who are telling you the elite are ignoring you would themselves be described by that list. If we start of with owning a house worth 900K for example.....Some of the people telling you the elite are ignoring you also tell you to ignore experts, but considering Boris Johnson's interview with Andrew O'Neil then perhaps this is taking us on a scary path.


Fair comment and well said, but I think our respective concepts of what " the elite" may be are very different indeed.
I don't come from any socialist or fake socialist direction, in fact it's fair to say that I have no allegiances to any party or defined political grouping.
I'm only too pleased to see anyone do well and I certainly don't want a share of anyone else's property. If I can put it in a straightforward way which explains briefly the relevant bit of a very complicated world view on my part, I don't like seeing certain interests tilt the pitch in a way that their own wealth and power is perpetuated at the expense of making it impossible for others to succeed upon their merits, and as a little side benefit prevent others from expressing opinions which are either unpalatable to them or might interfere with their intricate and dishonest schemes to exert illegitimate power and influence.

Maybe we should do a whole thread on the wider issues of this because it's too wide a subject to chuck into this kind of dialogue.
