Regardless of whether it is an act or not it is not something that looks good on serious political stage, and if people can not see that is an issue then it shows that the above forelock tugging is still in their mental makeup, even if they no longer tug it as Boris and his fellow party member do the tugging for them.

IMHO, those statements say more about your own inverse snobbery and unreasoning prejudices than they do about the so-called 'toffs' you malign by projecting how you believe they should think/act based on your 'class warfare' views.
Your argument is circular - if people don't agree with you and recognise they are 'forelock tuggers', it is because they are 'forelock tuggers'....
