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

      On that definition, more than half the population is privileged. Anyone whose parents aren’t penniless alcoholics is privileged by comparison to those whose parents are. We all live on a spectrum. Your definition is dumb.

      Flattered that you think I came up with the definition. Privilege is relative and can easily be a case of the majority having privileges that the minority don’t. In fact, it is often so. See: white people vs POC, straight vs LGBTQ people. This is basic stuff.

      Dear god, this is painful. If half the country is privilged just like me, why doesn’t half the country go to the top two universities? What other selection criteria are being used, do you think?

      Well we agree on it being painful. No one is saying it’s the only criterion. What they are saying (and what you admitted yourself a few tweets up ffs) is that getting into Oxford is easier if you are middle class. That is privilege.

      It was easier because I had parents who cared about education & were aspirational. Nothing to stop any parent from doing that, as stats on high achievement of kids of low income immigrant families testify. Not privilege in the sense that was being implied, ie. money & contacts.

      Sigh. No, for the umpteenth time, my parents did not have plenty of money when I was at school. I went to non selective bog standard state schools.

          my son is applying to Oxford this year and stands a great chance of being accepted. He goes to a state school, has received NO assistance from anyone. If he gets in it will be ALL down to his own hard graft and brains. You cannot simply say Oxford/Uni is only for the privaleged

          There a many great state schools that do that these days. My own area has 3. Only one of them is non selective though. Oh, and not one of them is an inner city school.

          Worth noting that I was talking about those that applied for uni back in the 1980s. The numbers were much smaller, thus the places far fewer. Thus, to get into Oxford back then could have been said to be a privilege, rather than just for the privileged. There is a difference.

          That said, nearly 40 years later, it is still easier for the privileged to get into elite universities than it is for state school students to enjoy the same privilege.https://www.tes.com/news/privileged-pupils-10-times-more-likely-attend-elite-universities …

          Why do we always blame the system? Instead we should encourage kids to reach their potential, whatever that is. It may not be Oxford but if we keep saying it can't be done they will believe that and never achieve

          Er didn't you go to Woodhouse college?! Hardly bog standard state school. Not recognising privilege and how that impacts on the lack of accountable journalism is the point of Owen's initial tweet.

          Well done for getting into Oxford. Everything since - shame. shame. shame. You earn a shilling by spreading hatred and misinformation. It is because you're intelligent enough to know what you're doing that makes it so disgusting.
