If the real problem is simply inequality, it has done a bad job of arguing it. Many wealthy people in England are born into it regardless of whether their silver spoon came with an engraved coat of arms, many more wealthy people have little better claim to their London real estate (eg the Russian oligarchs), and more fundamentally, personal traits like intelligence are not earned or deserved either but are (currently) flukes of the genetic lottery + good luck in parental genes. Talking about the aristocracy, as opposed to all the much larger and more important groups, would be a severe case of missing the big picture, and runs up against all the ranting in the article & title about the aristocracy, so I am pretty sure that is not what they were aiming at in the first place.
