If the 'classes' ignore the 'masses', the British will take to the streets

I was in London the day the Britain voted for Brexit. I was there to give a speech on the housing challenges of global cities and to meet advisors to the Prime Minister and the new London Mayor. As a former advisor to ministers in the Blair government and as someone who has advised Boris Johnson on housing when he was the London mayor, I was more than a little interested in the drama and then crisis which overtook the UK's political class.
