People know the privilege/advantage that comes from going to Oxbridge - that's why they bust a gut to get there. Simple as that.

Definitely. The urge to bleat "but I went to state school!" rises quickly, but if I'm honest, better media definitely = fewer people like me

This is all true - my college had strict quotas on 50 / 50 men / women and state / private and did target schools outreach to state sector

Even 50:50 state:private is poor - only 7% of kids go to orivate school

(I actually benefitted from the gender quota as they had all women in my college’s English year and needed some men...)
