> British elites don't want to be elite so much as they cannot easily get used to the norms Like working and coping with (comparatively) low income? Most people have to work and cope. If you don't have to work and cope, that makes you fundamentally unlike most people, because even if you do work and cope, it'll be on your terms. Even if some of the work and some of the cope is genuinely fun and engaging, I guarantee that nobody wants to have to do it and therefore that elites want to be elite even if it is gauche to say so out loud.
