Amazing. Perhaps with your privileged private health care kinda background and fantastic career prospects you will find the forthcoming dictatorship, erosion of everything for anyone under loadsamoney salaries, dead funny.
I'll make a note to come back to this quote in 3 years, let's see what you think then.
This psychopath (Boris that is) is gonna make Thatcher look like a saint in comparison. Disaster.
Can't be arsed to keep debating politics now, I've said my piece and you said yours, and obviously I'm aware that stating anything other than a far-left political view on BL will get hate thrown my way.
What I do want to comment on though is the attitude displayed here, common amongst lefties in general, where there is zero belief in individual agency and anyone doing better than you is "privileged and lucky to have money" while anyone doing worse than you is "a victim of the evil system."
Call me crazy but I believe that grown adults have agency. Not to wax philosophical on you but I believe we have free will.
I don't work in healthcare so I have no idea if you're mixing me up with someone else or what, but I don't come from a privileged background at all, in fact not long ago I was working in a supermarket. I eventually managed to get a tech job because being a nerd pays off at the moment and I'm good at computers. It's not some exclusive club you're barred from entering either, if you were genuinely interested I could give pointers on how to learn programming and get into this kind of thing yourself. I have no special contacts in the industry, I was just the best candidate in the interview. Learn a few things and most people with reasonable intelligence could probably do the kind of work I do in all honesty.
Speaking about socioeconomic mobility in general, there's much more of it in the UK than you seem to believe. If you look at the Sunday Times Rich List all the old money has been knocked off by self-made entrepreneurs. That's the extreme end of things of course but it paints a picture of the overall society in which we live. People with decent skills can work their way up - like how I went from working in a supermarket to a tech company and I don't even have a bloody degree let alone anything from Eton or Oxbridge. The wealth isn't held by aristocrats and their trust fund kids anymore, you're relying on outdated stereotypes instead of objectively looking at the state of modern society.
Finally, on a similar note that is political but worth noting - I find it funny you try to paint me as some upper class whatever for disliking Commie Corbyn when the Tories were just voted in by working class constituencies in the midlands and the north. Rich London voted Labour as it always does and most of Corbyn's hardcore supporters seem to be bored rebellious middle class kids who like communism because it's E D G Y. It was the rest of England who voted in the Tories. Working class people in white vans, not the City boys.
That's about all I have to say. Merry Christmas ho ho ho!
