What he's getting at is succinctly out in the third sentence, dj. It seems to me to be a sort of easy labelling system, a way of categorising people so that you don't actually have to hear first hand from individuals what they might think. I think he's getting at what I've seen called "group think" where people seem to lose the ability to think for themselves and just follow a crowd.

I read it, bags, but I do not understand what he is getting at. Can you explain?
It might be because I completely disagreed with his first sentence.

James Bloodworth seems to think it has and he doesn't seem to keen on the idea.
