To beat that we\’d need the son of a senior Conservative writing columns on how bad capitalism is, the son of the ex-head of the BBC telling us all Trotsky was right, the great-grandaughter of an Earl telling us all about how the rich should take care of the poor and, to pile absurdity upon absurdity, we\’d have to invent a fourth generation MP and third generation Cabinet Minister with an occasional column about the importance of soial mobility.
