I don't think having rich pals is a prerogative of the Tories Akenaton. Also the rentamob that shouted Jim Callaghan down were either trade union members, or people paid by trade union organisers to demonstrate. In so doing they sowed fear into the hearts of most Englishmen no matter what class [a designation I despise], thus ensuring that Maggie got elected. So they did sort of bring it on themselves.
