I don't recognise the picture they're painting of Britain. Polls can show damn near anything you want them to show.
Lookout, you were dealing with embassy staff and ex-pats. They are generally more likely to be of a certain economic and class background. They may as well be a different nationality to the rest of us. Seriously, your average Brit has far more in common with your average American, German or Spaniard than with the ruling elite of Britain. Class may be of much less importance in modern Britain than it used to be but it hasn't gone away. There is still a good deal of mutual disdain between the classes.
