Class permeates British culture unlike any other European society. And it goes beyond the rich:poor divide you’d see in America or say France.
The upper class look down on the working and middle class, viewing any self made money with disdain. Unless you’re a blue blood your money doesn’t really count. Money is not the only factor.
The working class in turn tend to view anyone who tries to climb the ladder as a class traitor or someone who doesn’t know their place. “Crabs in a bucket” if you will. Self made success is sneered at the same as multi-generational inherited (and unearned) wealth.

Nonsense. The class divide is significant but it’s purely down to wealth, not anything else. I can attest as someone who has climbed the ladder myself.
I think your American views on other countries might be a few centuries out of date.
“class jealousy”
😂

Historically the perception of the people who have “climbed the class tower” is usually very out of touch with the rest of us.
