You're just bonkers, sorry. The Eloi descended from
effete aristocrats, the Morlocks from the degenerated
and brutalised working class.

Damien,

Is this actually derived from Wells' text, or is it a
"counter-assertion" to The Avantguardian's  "... the
Eloi were descended from liberals and the Morlocks
from the conservatives"?

Just trying to keep things 'straight'.

Best, Jeff Davis
