Hmmm...talking of 'small minorities' with a disproportionate amount of socio-political-economic power in Britain - yes, I'm talking about the English upper classes here:  Since Peter Oborne's wiki bio informs us that he was educated at Sherborne College (a posh boarding school) and Cambridge University (again with a disproportionate percentage of toffs), one might deduce that he might have one or two 'friends in high places', too.  Unfortunately, it's less of a case of some of these snobs loving the Palestinians as hating the Jews.
