  As was pointed out vividly by a young student girl in the audience on the BBC's Question Time...who, although from elsewhere, was currently living in a rented council estate flat in North London with little money, and borrowed up to the hilt with burdoning government loans ( in fact an identical fit for my own daughter's situation)...what? she asked... have people like Zac Goldsmith got in common with her.
  
  Zac Goldsmiths only qualification for his fast track to Tory power is that he is very very rich and grew up formulating policy on the playing fields of Eton. What other struggling life experiences does he have. Answer:none. He cannot possibly identify with the struggle people are going thru. He is, if you like, almost a different species.
  
  We spoke about this Eton thing in Barrys Blog last week, only for the PM to use the same direction at PMQ a few days later. He clearly dips in here for his policy shifts, not having ever experienced the playing fields of Eton!
  
  But as Howard points out above re the polls...it could be a goer for labour, so its an obvious ploy at this point.
