Just seems a very odd thing for people to get worked up about.
DC's background should be irrelevant - people like to use it as a stick to beat him with but really what is the issue with having someone well educated running for PM?
Rags to riches is a nice story but this isn't a f**king Disney movie.
In my experience the people that spend their time worrying about class often find it's to the detriment of getting on with things.
Anyway, I'm off fox hunting, toodle-pip.
