I feel like you took the Baldwin quote about Britain exactly opposite of the way it was intended.
It's not about poor, or "envious", people sponging off the state. It's about nepotism of the privileged. Such as Trump's kids and son-in-law ending up in the WhiteHouse and benefiting from it despite their absolute lack of qualification or merit. "New offices" were literally created for them.
(BTW, there is a great tradition in Britain of clergymen being progressive reformers)
