Britain's Ruling Elite

[brass neck]

Re: Britains Ruling Elite

I just don't get these fuckers who when you talk about injustice, go on about "chips on shoulders" or "inverted snobbery"

These lot are keeping EVERYONE down, they laugh at all of us, even the ones who have convinced themselves they are up there with the elite because they have worked their boxes off and can afford a 5 series BMW and a mock Tudor house in Bramhall.

These fuckers are pulling the strings, they have us working for them, they get all the top jobs, they keep zillions in personal wealth, they keep money in the family, they have taken over politics and WE, US, YOU are paying for it.

These people who think they are sitting on the top table with these leeches are feeding on nothing more than scraps from their mouths. Anyone who defends them has some sort of Stockholm syndrome. "Jealous" "bitter" you bet I fuckin am. People from my background get put down by being called jealous, kept from questioning whether it's fair for so few to have so much, it's like the slave master calling his resentful prisoners jealous.

We are being had. Look who has the top jobs in all walks of life. Not many scousers heading up the top companies, not many Geordies making the big military decisions, not many Cornish voices in government.

What is it about people that thinks it's ok to be ruled by a particular class that would never allow us to be part of their gang. I wouldn't mind if they were any good but most of them are shit. IDS failure at everything he's done. Gideon Osborne, a 2:1 degree in modern history but weirdly allowed to run our nation's finances, would a moss side lad be allowed that leg up? Would he fuck.

The minute we get rid of this cloud over our country is the minute we can move on.

Enjoy the 15 year old Astra.

Ha ha. I will, dodgy clutch aside. I will enjoy it safe in the knowledge I bought every bit of it. Daddy didn't, I did.

So what's the test anyway? What's the test that these people from these backgrounds sit to make sure they are fit for the job? The degrees dont mean anything or our chancellor wouldn't be in a job would he. How do we know that these people who get moved into these roles are "the best people for the job" the election certainty doesn't do it, thats just a question of this toff or that one. How do we know they are a good as we are frequently told?

Andrew Neil's program a few years ago was interesting about the rise of the posh sinse the death of the grammer school.

Re: Britains Ruling Elite

The only thing that stops anyone succeeding is lack of talent. And there is plenty of that about.

Fuck me, you haven't got a clue about how the real world works.

But then you can't work it out on a calculator can you?

Talent! PMSL

Ah yeah. The real world which you know so much about. Let's face it, you know fuck all and have lived in the same pot smoking world of yours your whole life. You have never experienced different places or tested yourself. Far easier to sit where you are and bemoan your shitty experience and blame everyone else for your failure.

A fucking pot head with delusions of grander explaining to me that I don't know about "the real world". Stroll on.

@brass Talent is all that is needed. No one passed my 11+ for me or the industry exams or the interviews or bought me cars or a house or anything. All you need is motivation to push yourself.

CEO's of Barclays, HSBC, Nationwide, Lloyds, RBS hardly fit that mould. Sure, two of them went to Oxford, but even they grew up in places like stoke and Plymouth; they're hardly the old etonian, landed gentry types.

In fact, I would wager that the landed gentry are becoming less and less influential over the years and are being surpassed by hard working, smart people, who show greater levels of resilience. Going to Oxford is a great start, but other people can achieve it. You don't have to be related to the monarch to get there. Plus, entry into universities such as Oxbridge is much more diverse than it was historically.

Anyone who thinks that the BBC is anything other than a broadly centre-left organisation, in terms of its output and personnel, is living on another planet.

I've worked all over Europe, stoned in all of them. Probably put my mind and body through more in a day than you have in a decade.

Probably why I'm not a tory pen pusher and free to do what I want when I want.

Now, time for a spliff and the match. I don't stroll, I float. Float on.

Ah yes bar work is so taxing. Well done you.

Float off for all I care.

Bar work? Never given it a try.

You have sand in your vagina because a stoned twat has a bigger and less blinkered world view to you.

The UK was clearly too much for you.

Ah yes, you are so worldly wise TMQ.

I'm so envious, no really.

Quick cigarette on my balcony before the game

Enjoy your spliff and world view and I'll enjoy my view.
