Yes, RP is generally seen as the accent of The Man, rather than anything neutral.

But there's a difference between an average, middle class sounding BBC newsreader and a "posh" accent that someone like Boris Johnson has. RP accents woudln't raise an eyebrow in my locality, whereas "posh" certainly would.

May not raise eyebrows, but would obviously be one of Them rather than one of Us (or neither of the above).
