Re: rural parochialism
"Even the Prime Minister seems to have this idea.......Makes her sound like she's never left the village she grew up in."
Perhaps if she hadn't left the village she grew up in she'd be happily running through wheat fields and the country may have a proper leader* as PM. You know, someone who could stop the growing divisions in the country; whereas the current PM seems unable to unify and lead her own parliamentary party, never mind the rest of the country.
*Note a criticism of the current lot shouldn't be taken as an implicit approval of the other lot.
