I believe you totally nailed it - class division, that's the right word for the official British accent and that was the original meaning - Queen's English
I have to admit I always greatly enjoyed for example the "Prime Minister" series, simply because of the language used.
Prague probably tried to do the same at the beginning, but during the devolution it just failed into the guido / gay category, as the most of its inhabitants
The Prague accent and slang is actually very far from the official language.
I would suspect the closeted vs. proud gays ratio is about 60 / 40 in Prague now, women will soon need to start unions to receive enough cock to get by

I would suspect, as I said I was just asking a hypothetical question that I couldn't answer since I'm not native
