"Leveller, the fact that people are protective of their possessions does not make those people elitist, nor does it make them middle class. "

Well, Richard, never in my life before have I seen people bring fences and barriers with them to a folk festival with the prime intent of excluding anyone else from their circle (which would, incidentally, have accommodated two more caravans or tents). If that's not elitist, I don't know what is. It seemed to be the norm at Towersey.
