Class Bullshitters
I get quite annoyed at this because personally I have faced extreme adversity and only through sheer dumb luck of loving computers from an early age have I been able to escape my circumstances.<p>I’ll say it clearer for anyone who missed that: luck.<p>A lot of social issues in the uk are primarily class based, you won’t even be aware of the jobs you’ll be looked over for because you didn’t go to the right school, and those “right schools” pre-select based on background.<p>“Daddy is a barrister, I guess we let this one in?!”<p>In the event you are born with privilege you prefer to be underestimated, I don’t think I’ve met many upper class people who are genuinely happy being removed from the masses. Maybe it’s a grass is always greener thing.<p>Myself, I speak with a middle class accent, desperate not to be thrown back to where I came from.
