[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added tothe title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

And, you know, a society in which your parents bank balance and the school you get sent to is the single biggest indicator of your future successes.

Brexit was just some real end-game shit for them to cement their authority over us little folk.

No way, a country that's literally run by the elitist upper class has higher inequality?

I mean, it's a left wing news source. They have been blowing this horn for 20 years. Doesn't mean it's wrong, but it's not going to move the needle.
