      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 …

      I'd say going to Oxford in what, the eighties, when only 10% or so of all kids even went to ANY university, is in itself quite privileged. I'd imagine you made a few 'contacts' there who came in handy somewhere down the line.

      I didn’t go to Oxford because I was privileged. I went to Oxford because I was clever.

      I went to Oxford. I don't describe myself as intelligent, but as someone who was fortunate to be given opportunities which meant I could apply. I know many intelligent people who had far less opportunities than me and never went to Uni. Education does not dictate intelligence.

      Then I would suggest you’re not very intelligent. I know plenty of VERY clever people who didn’t go to Oxbridge or to uni at all. But almost all of the people I met at Oxford were very clever, regardless of their educational background.

          I believe I was lucky to be given opportunities and the tutors kind enough to give me a chance. I am a teacher so I'm not stupid. Holding a different opinion to you does not mean I am any less or more intelligent tbh 👍

          I didn’t say that it did, did I? I think not recognising one’s own intelligence is pretty dumb. I went to a camp but I didn’t need extra help from my tutors. Really not sure what your problem is with me saying I got into a good uni because of my own brains not my family.

          Julia, if you had grown up on an inner city estate you would not have gotten in to Oxbridge. No matter how educated you were. Education alone does not guarantee access. Your background carries a lot of weight.

          There are some amazing schools doing just that for kids from those backgrounds right now. But yes, of course being a middle class kid makes it FAR easier. But that isn’t the same as being “privileged” in the way that was originally being implied.

          Given that tens of millions of Britons are middle class, that’s a hell of a lot of privileged people.

          Most of the fellow undergraduates I met at Oxford were spectacularly thick posh people. My father (at least as bright as me) had to leave school at 14. I won a scholarship.

          Sadly you clearly aren't bright enough to wear your intelligence lightly. You come across as a smug smartarse in this thread. Still you went to Oxford so I guess the rest of us should just bow down to the genetic luck of your braininess? Or was it all your own hard work?
