the phrase ‘shooting weekend’
Sorry but this does make you a twat. The rearing of pheasants in woodland destroys habitat, creates alot of waste, and is generally shit. So sick of the empty feed sacks and shotgun cartridges littering the woods near where I grew up. The keeping of grouse moors invariably involves the persecution of raptors, foxes and other predators. I'm speaking as someone who used to ride a horse and go fox hunting but have learned alot more about how precious our wildlife is over the years.
You don't have to be posh to shoot, but you do have to be a twat, or at least, ignorant and selfish

Reese Mogg is an unpleasant human being. It has little to do with his ‘class’
His perception of class, particularly where he thinks he deserves to be on the scale as opposed to where he thinks he is, has a fair amount to do with how he expresses his unpleasantness. It's not that he's a cunt because he's from a certain class, but a large chunk of his cuntishness is tied up in the notion of class.

Reese Mogg is an unpleasant human being. It has little to do with his ‘class’ Whatever the hell that means in the modern age.
Just keeping in touch from schooldays I have friends who bend their backs for a living, friends who use the phrase ‘shooting weekend’ and wear tweed, and friends who live in a smart mews house in South Ken and work for the BBC.
None of it makes them more, or less, a twat. That is entirely down to the individual.
I wish we could get over the class thing.
