Dana, from the little I can gather about life in England it seems that there is a huge gulf between the haves and the have nots, there also seems to be a fairly strong degree of learned helplessness among the lower class. I can imagine that after a point if one feels there is no hope or point or chance of improving one's lot, then it's every man for himself and god against all.

again, I base this on nothing but inference.
