Yes because Joe Public are going to vote for you aren't they? I mean you such a likable chap, who wouldn't want you running the country.
You cant even win round random strangers on a message board, let alone win a public majority.
God bless democracy
and as we can see from your posts, you have fuck all social skills to show for it!
Even at grammar schools and public schools you get the same issues of those who don't want to work disrupting a class.
I'm sorry the whole "Oh you can't associate with them cos they're lower class" attitude p*sses me right off. What makes those people any lesser people to be associated with. You get just as many nice people who are intelligent and caring in the lower classes as you do in the upper classes, if not more genuine people in those classes.
Could this be why he can't find a girl that's willing to shag him?
If that's the trade off, you can stick the top jobs up your arse.
No you didn't...you got ripped to shreads for stringing a 16 year old along that you had absolutely no respect for and were slagging off, but using her as a trophy to prove you could pull someone.
I'm struggling with these sweeping statements as you're yet to provide any evidence for these massive generalisations and thus I can't take you remotely seriously. Find me some evidence and maybe I'll listen to you.
surely you were told at Oxbridge to reference...so come on, back this up with some proper truth!
Again, there are many of them with far more of those things than members of the upper class. Yes they don't have the money to buy designer clothes, but you can be just as fashionable, stylish and elegant without them as well. The word shallow comes to mind about you again.
Yes but they have social skills, and can appeal to other people than just toffs.
You have NO social skills and CANT hide the fact your only interested in yourself.
You do realise you going to have to knock on peoples doors for their vote (**shock horror**) you may have to visit a council estate, maybe even speak with an ugly person.
You know what...I'd love to meet you just to see that because I really can't see you being anything but arrogant, shallow, rude and completely self absorbed in person either.
Especially if he's ever going to get a shag
Under the grammar school system, the poor who are bright get to go to a good school. I certainly wouldn't call someone from a poor background who is clever, an 'unamitious chav'. At my school there were people from all walks of life. The only thing that was the same about us was that we were smart enough to get into a good school, as opposed to being rich enough to get into a good school like you were.
Rich people only get better results because they went to better schools. I have a good friend who goes to Cambridge now. She's from a humble farming background. If she was English, no doubt she would have ended up in a state school, wouldn't have received the education she has done in Northern Ireland, and wouldn't have got to go to Cambridge. Do you also think she's riff-raff, just because her daddy didn't fund her education, and she actually got there through being smart? As for MPs, well isn't the most powerful man in the country, our new Prime minister, a graduate of Edinburgh University. I'm just using that as an example of how you don't HAVE to be Oxbridge to become powerful in this country.
Again, the only reason this happens is because of your biased education system favouring the rich public school boys. A grammar school educated student, from any background, could easily develop the skills neccessary. It's just in England, people from all backgrounds don't get that chance, do they?
I don't know, I suppose we're not really like that in Ireland. I find it tragic that a parent would even contemplate not allowing their children to associate with lower classes. Maybe that's what went wrong with you Jomery? Did your parents dissuade you from associating with people of a lower socio-economic background?
Oh you know people. Well forgive me, I retract everything... As you yourself said, it's purely anecdotal and thus you could, for all I know, be making it all up. Thus it means absolutely nothing. A friend of mine went to the moon last summer. Twice. Another spent a nice Easter in Atlantis.
As I stated earlier, Magic Circle law firms and IBs have a culture of Oxbridge elitism and nepotism that is sadly still rife. Thus perhaps what you say may have a shred of truth inasmuch as your chances are enhanced by which university you went to whilst having less to do with actual ability. A friend of mine going off to work for Goldman told me as much a few weeks ago. But what about the vast majority of people who don't want to do IB or Law?
Like I said before, even other lesser careers like accountancy the university matters much more than the degree. OK so you don't believe my anecdotal evidence - type PricewaterhouseCoopers into Facebook and scroll through the people who work there looking at their uni and degree - you'll see a lot more Oxbridge students who did an irrelevant art than Accountancy grads from a 2nd rate uni.
:eek: Are you trying to upset the majority of people here? There is no need for such sweeping generalisations.
And on the flipside, the fact that at my grammar school I was with people from all echelons of life, including the upper classes, middle classes and lower classes, I've got a vast array of social experience, and could use that much more to my advantage than someone who's solely mixed with upper classes. Surely that's obvious.
Not sure, but still, he's not an Oxbridge graduate and he's leader of the country, hurrah!
Why? What's wrong with someone from a humble background who is bright, witty, sociable, such as the friend I was telling you about?
Your parents are no doubt a major cause of your social difficulties. What a shame.
hmm, I shall make one too. All those called Jomery are arrogant tossers...hows about that? Not as offensive as the other sweeping statement I am sure!
Jomery, what degree did you do?
I'll 2nd that.
Well if you only hang out with people like that, then it's little wonder you've turned out how you have. Lord knows, I spent 5 years hanging out with Wykehamists and I wouldn't want to do it again. What a sheltered little life you must lead.
