A friend's son from a working class background in Dundee went to St Andrews University( 9 miles away) to study medicine. While he travelled daily from Dundee the toffs were set up in a private flat provided by mummy and daddy and given a credit card. These "students" had formal dinner parties with out of house caterers and the best wines and spirits. People talk about closing the attainment gap. That is never going to happen when there is such a disparity in wealth. It sickens me to see 1% of society have more money than the combined wealth of the other 99%

This isn't the norm and hadn't been for decades. Most university students come from middle class families and went to comprehensive schools. There will always be rich children and consequently rich students. What matters is what proportion of the student population they constitute. Having said THAT, elitism still exists at the most expensive private schools, within certain universities and also some work sectors. The best example perhaps being the Oxford PPE degree acting as a stepping stone to a career in politics.

The class system permeates everything in the UK. You have to be either a foreigner or someone who has moved abroad to see just how pernicious it is. The underlying assumption of British (and particularly English) people is that there are people who are entitled and people who are not. The aristocracy and very wealthy always fall into the former group and the working class always fall into the latter. The tension is with the middle class. A significant part of their existence is struggling to prove that they are worthy of the former group. A lot of the social and economic dysfunction of the UK stems from this.

The 'media ecosystem' is part of it, I knew several current newspaper editors who were there at the same time. I also knew several current very senior civil servants. They are ALL in the same social milieu. Political opposition is a mirage, civil service impartiality is a mirage and the press 'holding them to account is also a mirage.

Obviously you are a jolly clever chap but perhaps not enough to disregard gossip and hearsay of which reputation is largely composed is it not and of course if you ask his chums a chap may have a very good reputation or name, so it must depend on whom you ask and since men are clearly incapable of impartiality, it is as well to be careful who you ask depending on which if your biases you want confirmed. Since you are so jolly clever what exactly is it about what is called" left" - or " right" that makes left left or right right? I noticed that depending on who uses them they are cognates of good(likeable) or bad(dislikable). Eg. devout followers of the religion modernism use right wing as a synonym of or for sinful, and like all normative or religious loons they are absolutely obsessed with sin, viz. the endless list of cognates of sinful that they keep inventing such as sexist racist, anything-you-please_ophobic{dear old paddy of the Dublin O'phobics} At least Boris is not a sewerite lover like the execrable Cameron who foisted sewerite marriage on a reluctant tribe or party, not realising that true conservatives disapprove of filthy ant-natural perversions, so no conservative Cameron. Personally I would be appalled if the met and sundry fire brigades were *Not*(what is called using a frankenstein neologism) " homophobic" So there you go, simple enough question for a jolly clever chap: In political terms, what makes left left or right right, and can you answer that without resort to cognates synonyms , descriptions, examples and circularity? If you can it would be a first for me that has yet to meet the fella that can define political left or right without using cognates, synonyms, descriptions examples and circularity. Rather than entertaining gossip and hearsay I would conjure you to restrict yourself to speaking of a chap as you find him rather than rehearsing gossip and hearsay.

What they were most shocked about was he and his mates smashing up the common room at the university, then someone goes to the university to settle the damage and no further action was taken. They kept on talking about this and the fact this was a regular thing, where each time they trashed a place it was paid for and he got zero comeback from it. This is exactly what you talk about with the Bullingdon lot, but for your information it goes on in Bristol as well. The chances are there are many other elite universities where it also happens.

Talk about being hoist on your own petard. If anything wins the conservatives the next election it will be the modernist socialists who seem hell bent on alienating the Elsies by treating those whom the Elsies loath as sacred cows and calling the poor Elsies sinners all the time.

Britain is built around traditions rather than rules, because traditions can be defined and interpreted by the traditional elites, while rules would have to apply to everyone and that's what the Britons who count just cannot deal with. Funny thing is, thanks to their absolute control of the national conversation, both in government and in the media, this aversion to rules is now engrained across the board. It has morphed into a sense of exceptionalism that is such a feature of the national character, that even working class Brits will bridle against all sorts of rules, especially if they have been created by someone else. And they will make out as if this is a mark of their autonomy or independence. Sometimes it's the EU. Sometimes it's just V.A.R. Even if in both cases, the authoring hand is as likely to have been British as foreign. They display their faux defiance as a mark of their "Britishness" if you like, even while they exhibit a conformism within the isle that is unmatched just about anywhere outside South-East Asia. They might rally for a proper (written, transparent) constitution but they will not begin to dare. And the longer the wait, the more the upper chamber is stacked with bought place-holders waiting to do the bidding of the same traditional elite in order that they may join it and benefit from it more fully.

The last time any millions of beings in this land agreed on anything was when they agreed on anything was when they agreed that one Johnson was a splendid fellow and just the chap to bring about the final and complete succession of the UK from the European federation. It is nearly impossible to get a mere ten people to agree on anything but twenty million is the sort of crazed fantasy that could only come from the dreaming apparatus of a religious fanatic

the biggest problem we have in our corrupt system is that Politicians view serving as an MP as a lifetime job and career. we the electorate are at fault for this we should have put a stop to it years ago, one stint as an MP and you should be banned from reselection for 10 years. we should also have a minimum standard of morality, qualifications and how good you do the job, there should be an annual assessment of MPs by a public non political body and if they don't come up to scratch they should be kicked out. the golden pensions should also be cancelled and they should only receive the pensions credits exactly the same as everyone else. lobbying on behalf of anyone should be criminalised, accepting gifts should be classed as bribery, no second jobs during the tenure of being a sitting Mp and banned from taking consultancy jobs for 10 years after leaving politics.

Thinking about how toffs are educated, most of them are completely ignorant of science and engineering on which our society depends, but many of them are trained in law, which uses words like 'evidence', 'proof', and 'theory' completely differently to the way scientists would use them.

Totally spot on. When Johnson was mayor of London he was dishing out outlandish contracts that were never going to come to anything to his cronies right from the start.

Every word, perfectly put, hits the nail on the head on every issue. Whatever people think of Starmer, his lack of charisma, his various decisions to try and placate the establishment etc, he needs to be elected into power if anything to arrest this decline and degradation of our democratic values and institutions. Starmer has clearly decided that the only path to power that is permitted in this country, is one where a labour party has to act like a soft tory party with cast iron assurances not to spoil the party for the vested interests. We must not reward the tories and their lies, incompetence, culture wars, strangulation of our public services and living standards, they must be blasted into orbit, as far away from power as possible and perhaps they will learn some lesson, although unlikely.

When I saw that the UK had voted for a party led by a clown I knew the government would be a circus.

gender o h devout follower of the queer religion modernism is reserved to objects in those languages where things orobjects are ascribed a one or other of the Sexes, either active or pasive or male and female respectively, do gender has no application to beings that only come in one of two sexes, male and female active and pssive respectively. Why are you followers of the religion modernism so coy about the ordinary English word sex?

There's an element of Australian society that models themselves on the British class system - it just blows my mind.

Yet another great interview. You touched a little on MPs having second jobs and where they find the time to do the jobs they are elected to do. I’d love to hear you discuss how Scottish Tory leader MSP Douglas Ross has time for his well paid job in the Scottish Parliament (even without the additional work involved as leader) but also has time in any given day to carry out his equally well paid job as an MP in Westminster (including all the travelling time that involves) …. And still has time for his quite well paid job as a part time referee (which itself led to a bit of a scandal last year as he didn’t declare the 30k he’s earned from it.

Great interview!

Being an MP for the Tories and the Bullingdon club types is about controlling the levers of power to serve and protect their interests. Their biggest success is convincing the 'plebs' that they have their best interests at heart.

The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach.

Great interview - my only small gripe is the number of times Oli says ‘you-know’; the more it’s uttered the more it starts to distract from the substance of the conversation

Brilliant description, the one about the haystack!!!!!!!

I've come to realise that we're generally a nation of 'forelock-tuggers'. The John Cleese and the two Ronnies sketch springs to mind: "I know my place...."

That is why the UK never progresses...we never admit our deep seeded cap doffing obedience. If you don't admit you have a problem, you can't attempt to fix it.

I'm really having a problem with folk saying "British" when they really mean English! Scottish people do not feel inferior to the elites like English folks do we also couldn't care less about the royals. We are totally different countries in every way. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

Great interview! 👏

Excellent, Well Done 👏

Hancock's fee was £10k a day, or £1500 an hour.

I remember watching an old episode of Minder, 2 toffs walk into a restaurant and start smashing the place up and abusing the staff, physically and mentally, Terry booted them out, but in real life would that have happened?

Great conversation.

I ask this question. Why does the proletarians which is 60% of the population of the U.K. votes for the party that represents the people of the very rich in society? This should be the discussion rather than criticising the Conservative government! 😮‍💨

ALL politicians, whether labour or conservatives, feather their own nests. Each side when they think they they won't lose the next election do all sorts of dodgy things.

That's not technically true is it. The average for high paying second jobs while in Parliament swings quite heavily in favour of the Conservatives.

This is the best and the brightest...........really really , what it attracts is selfish greed.

I was employed in various professional positions over some 40+years in jobs that had responsibilities,targets and performance related remuneration. The idea that I could just take a second job that possibly paid even more than my existing position would have put me in breach of contract! I just don’t understand how this has been allowed to happen. Please don’t tell me that doctors or lawyers who become MP’s have to keep up their professional standards……..either they are MP’s or something else but they can’t be both……they should decide which one they want.

Harrow school has a public road passing right through it. I was walking through on my way to a meeting when 3 teenage pupils walked past me. The eldest looking one was shouting and ranting about nearby labourers going about their work on a school building ….the language used was shocking. The oik in question clearly had a sense of superiority and entitlement trying to impress his peers. If that wasn’t an example of how these so called elites see us plebs I don’t know what is……it’s from the cradle to the grave !

stop all mp's from having any second jobs while in gov. and don't for get ppe scandal.

One of the only men to have entered Parliament with honest intentions.

The danger is that Labour under Starmer will not get rid of the new Tory fascist laws. Starmer must go.

Solve the problem of second jobs and other forms of income for MPS...ban any secondary income...make them concentrate 100 % on being a MP...rather then a sideline job as most of them treat it as.
