Too posh, or not posh enough? — Polly Toynbee on the shackles and privileges of class

George Orwell once called England "the most class-ridden country under the sun". Through the lens of her own middle-class family, prolific British journalist Polly Toynbee explores the guilt of privilege, the myth of mobility and the role of class in British society.

This event was recorded at the UNSW Centre for Ideas on March 11, 2024.
