Canny article in todays paper,apparently there's a growing middle class backlash against Positive Discrimination towards working class kids for places at Oxbridge and the other quality universities.
......but don't underestimate power of the political backlash, the sense of betrayal among middle class voters when more and more of their children are rejected despite having tip-top grades.
...........and the oddest thing is the role reversal of the political parties, Labours wave of immigration was great for the middle class employers of nannies, plumbers and decorators,but dismal for the unskilled and semi skilled Labour who found themselves out of work or having to work for less. If they had a family to support they often could not manage on the lower wages on which a single Pole could subsist.
It's a funny old world when political detoxification has come to this.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS EH!, you never know when it's your arse that's going to be f***ing bitten.
