Yeah, that’s why I’ve found it confusing as well. The St Johns wood north up to Golders Green set are as tory as they come. I used to love working for people round that way. Same for Stamford Hill - couldn’t work at a family home without being fed a huge sit down lunch every day.
Equating it with the Islington set makes sense as if you’re wealthy round those ends it’s probably cos you made your own money and respect where you came from which is the last thing the tories want to promote.

I've seen that mentioned before, I thought it was referring to the "Islington elite", those who vote Labour but happen to be rich enough to live in Islington, basically Corbyn. The North London thing being antisemitic could either be Stamford Hill way but I don't think the torys care enough about them to even insult them, or the St Johns Wood Jewish community, but they're in Westminster and all vote Tory anyway.
