Try very hard and you may just grasp the fact that The Vicar of Dibley is a work of fiction, so that its eponymous character is fictional, and taking the knee is exactly what she would do.
As for Eton, or any other public school, when has it ever not been like this? The self-serving fantasy is being brought out that, "The Tories went that way in response to Blair." But that is the opposite of the truth. The Conservative Party was like that before Labour ever was. A sober examination of the years from 1979 to 1997 would place that beyond doubt.
And Thatcherism was in no small measure the demand of state school pupils, especially boys, upon arriving at elite universities, to be allowed to behave in the way that the posh boys had always been positively expected to behave. Whenever you were at university, then what were the Tories like? Well, there you are, then.
