BOF Posted October 19, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 19, 2012 Disproportionate to the crime committed I think. When you see what else you could do that'd only get you 6 months or less in jail. Beware those who get in the way of upper-class pursuits. Remember you'll be in front of an upper-class judge, or certainly one who wants to ingratiate themselves with them.

Eames Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 On targeting the race, he said: "It's a symbol of a lot of issues in Britain around class. Seventy per cent of government pushing through very significant cuts are Oxford or Cambridge graduates. Whereas of course, a government of Secondary School drop-outs would do a better job. Regardless of political affiliation, I take some comfort in knowing that the government is constituted of people infinitely more intelligent than me.

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Ahhh yes, all those PPE and Classics graduates from Oxford/Cambridge are sooo intelligent aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Ahhh yes, all those PPE and Classics graduates from Oxford/Cambridge are sooo intelligent aren't they? 3 A grade A level entry requirements? Yup. Happy to admit thats better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I must admit this government on paper are poorly qualified. Who, honestly, would make a modern history graduate chancellor? Or maybe the fact that he went to Oxford makes it OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) 3 A grade A level entry requirements? Yup. Happy to admit thats better than me. When those people went to Oxford, I very much doubt they were given anything other than an unconditional entry offer (i.e. EE). I don't think Cambridge ever did that. (Edit 2: May well be wrong about this, though.) Edit: On the sentence - it's **** stupid. Edited October 19, 2012 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The Oxford/Cambridge point is less to do with intelligence but more to do with it appearing very close knit. When the majority of those in control went to two universities, it is easy to see them as a seperate political class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
