The UK has always been a place were the power elites firmly believe they're inherently superior and have a right to treat the plebes however they see fit (even the highly celebrated ending of slavery was quickly undone not long after by the - nowaydays never mentioned - invention of indentured servitude).
The post war period with the creation of social security, the National Health Service and a more broad spreading of prosperity was a blip, not a change in trend.
So yeah, no suprise that the toffs once again feel completelly free to treat the plebes as a different, lesser kind of being.
