We never moved from it. Can't see what all the fuss is about.

I suspect its more about people from comprehensive schools, who are well educated / bright, have experience of living on a limited budget and what its like to not have everything handed to them on a plate, having the chance in certain job sectors like media and high ranking jobs in government and private industry.
We have slipped back to a time where wealth alone is what gets you to the best jobs and positions.
Same as it ever under those Victorian "spread the wealth" supporters ;-)
Social mobility, my arse !

So aren't rich, white people allowed to knock about together in their little clubs and associations then?
Why the fuck would a well-off, well-educated, white male want to knock about in a social club full of ethnics and chavs?

It's probabaly just as well, what with the shitty job the local councils are doing keeping paedo's away from troubled kids. Imagine what would happen if they got there hands on any biggers jobs.

The media has to be the most elitist of all industries. I dont think Ive ever met anyone from any media organisation that didnt have a private school background.

Obviously being Scottish, Welsh or Irish allows you to be employed.

The BBC is the most nepotistic organisation in the world.
And the issue here is social mobility NOT diversity.
It's just another BBC excuse for wherever possible no longer employing white males unrelated to existing staff. See how many asian/black women newsreaders there are and contrast with white working class men.

Occasionally i've met elitest types in organisations like tbe BBC and am always shocked by their lack of understanding of wider society. They mostly hold back potential of creativity, business and the immagination of thought. Its the scourge of government and big organisations.

We should give the positions of authority to chavs from the council estates that'll redress the balance.
I'm liberal minded as they come but moaning the educated have the best jobs is daft when you consider the opposite.
Nepotism can leave a bad taste but everybody does it including the builder employing his own sons.

How has this (i.e. the presence of an establishment) affected you personally though Sir Alf, over all these years?
