My route into journalism? Comp school, state sixth form college, writing for the uni paper while at Oxford, work experience at the Times while I stayed in a squat, journalism college, a year on a local newspaper in East End of London on £9k... Yep, privileged all the way. https://twitter.com/owenjones84/status/987229001151369216 …

Most graduates don’t. It’s a Ponzi scheme!

You've heard of South Shields, back then a heartland of wealth, privilege, coal mining, shipbuilding, and hometown of philosopher John Gray and movie director Ridley Scott.
