Dom was never a man of the people any more than Johnson (or Farage for that matter) is.
Privately educated and an Oxbridge graduate, he lives in a £1.6 million Islington townhouse.

Dom's wife's also privately educated & an Edinburgh graduate who writes for The Spectator. Her father owns & occupies an actual castle. She's directly descended from Charles Grey, the former PM who Earl Grey tea is named after. Her mother's family made their fortune from slavery.
Dom has a tapestry room in their London house FFS. I don't know if that's for doing tapestries or displaying them. Either way it's not something you'll see in the average family home.

He might have started the narrative, but those around who embellished it and the media who perpetuated it unquestioningly are just as much part of the problem.
Also Benedict Cumberbatch.

We rarely saw the mega brained common man actually doing what he did though - just the carefully self curated glimpses of him entering buildings & the rambling blog posts.
When he was finally forced to interact outside his circle in the rose garden, the wall of myths crumbled.
