Moving out of London

Naaahh.. I don’t think so. Of course, any argument containing the word zeitgeist is inevitably going to be vague and generalising, but it’s my impression that this concept always reflected whatever the middle class are into.
While the Tory war on the poor has intensified in recent years, London’s working class has always had a tough time. And since their voices are all but drowned out, they don’t have the same impact on the ever elusive zeitgeist. What seems to be happening now is the lower middle class realising they are no longer able to float above such hardship. You hear Londoners with academic backgrounds starting to complain about basic living standard issues, people who would’t immediately be affected by your examples of welfare cuts and changes to social housing policies.
