After a tip and some research it turns out Alexander Denys Lyon Wilkinson went to the school of the elite because his family IS the British elite.

1. Two uncles in the Victorian Order(knighthood) and daddy was a Member of Parliament for 3 decades.

2. His uncle was Sir William Henry Nairn Wilkinson. He gets the Sir title becaude he waa knighted.

3. His uncle Richard Wilkinson is a Commander of the Victorian Order and former chair of the Board of Governors for the University of Winchester.

4. His father was John Arbuthnot Du Cane Wilkinson; a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1970-1974 and 1979-2004.
5. John's obituary mentions Alex. His main claims to fame were causing trouble within his own party by being further right than most other Conservatives.

"Du Cane" was the pen name Alex used at NationalFile.

6. The one Op-Ed I can find written by John Wilkinson was his defense of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

7. John defended Pinochet because he knew the dictator, who is most well known these days for throwing political opponents out of helicopters.
8. John glosses over the dictator stuff and murder of political opponents and justifies it.
9. He really goes through a lot of effort to "both sides" and "let bygones be bygones" the torture and murder of civilians by Pinochet.
10. Unbelievable

"The general is a very philosophical person with great inner courage and sense of humour. He jokes a lot."

"He is someone who has got considerable personal charm."
11. John Wilkinson appears to believe the torture, disappearing, and execution of political opponents is necessary if they're lefties.
12. Alex also believes political murder is justified if they're lefties.

The like on the helicopter post is from OrwellNGoode.
13. Alexander grew up upper class in a family of powerful elites with prestige. His father was a career politician and Alex never suffered deprivation of any kind. He had the best education at the best schools.

This contrasts with with content.
14. He talks down about the middle class regularly, but it's done from a perspective like they're the privileged ones, when he's more privileged than they are by any measure.

He LARPs as working class.
