Not a new suggestion. There's a strong argument that the post WWII growth period was an unusual phenomenon at least partly born from the rare cross-class shared experience that came from the war. Creation of the NHS, free public education, those and other things that were a huge factor in that period of prosperity and yet conservative-minded people want to think that was just a part of being naturally British and they've been deconstructing those foundations ever since.
