Oh, really?
Why is it that some members of the privileged classes refuse to admit that they enjoy and deserve the very best of everything? This is the truth of it – they think they deserve it, they think they are superior to all poor people and that’s why the system that protects the ruling classes (major example, of course, being private schools) should stay – otherwise how could they continue to dominate Oxbridge and top jobs? What would happen if equality of opportunity held true and the majority of Oxbridge students were working class - which is the statistical need? How would these superior fools then remain, in fact, superior? Because SURELY we all accept that the rich are NOT more intelligent than the poor – this is what scares them so much – the idea that if we have true equality of opportunity - all of a sudden they’re proven to be as average as the next person. Average… AVERAGE?! Horror of all horrors.
I was asked by a retired lawyer and his ridiculous smarmy-sh*t friend last night what I would do with my daughters if the local school was crap. I said that I have more faith in them not to fall spectacularly apart should they meet someone-of-the-lower-classes…. This is what terrifies them so much – the idea that they’re superiority might be tainted by this mix – they’ll be brought down simply by association. What are we now, a Caste system? The untouchables must be ghettoised in schools to the East, the rich to the West – and it has to stay that way. Of course it has to stay that way – otherwise the rich will be outed – true colours, and all that – and that’s what scares them the most – how completely sad to be so frightened of Other Human Beings succeeding my merit rather than handed to them on a plate. I'm still referring to education, by the way.
My babies will do very well having NOT had their arses wiped all their lives and learning in historical buildings with excellent teachers and not a social problem in sight, thanks very much. And they’ll still know how lucky they are, but want they will not feel is superior - because no one is - we are all the same regardless of bank balances.
