      My comment on this thread I thought I got into my very selective course on my own merit. Then remembered we had books and a newspaper and plenty to eat and I wasn’t responsible for looking after anyone. Privilege doesn’t get you in but lack of it certainly keeps you out.

      Agreed. But *anyone* with loving parents is privileged on that definition. Millions of people have the privilege you describe. It’s not just a lucky elite. The start of this debate was people only getting to Oxbridge cos privately educated & from wealthy families. Which I’m not.

          Love doesn't get you to a decent school with opportunity. Love doesn't get you good housing where it's conducive to studying. Love doesn't pay for the tutoring that so boosts your exam results. You're privileged & that's what got you where you are end of debate.

          I study at Cambridge, I was very lucky to have supportive teachers at sixth form but it was by no means a decent school, my parents couldn't afford tutoring - in fact I had to make money myself tutoring others. I fully agree with your sentiment but it's not that straightforward.

          You're rightwing. That's why RW has a problem with you. Working hard and going to a decent school is not privilege. I was poor, w/c, Irish parents, left school at 16, on magazines at 17. To pretend for clicks that intelligence has nothing to do with Oxbridge is embarrassing.

          Does he think people can't see that? Probably not in that echo chamber of his where being rude to rightwingers is the nearest he gets to sticking it to the man. If The Young Ones was filmed today he'd be Rick. Being clever has nothing to do with getting into Oxbridge? Hahahahaha.

          Actually the start of this debate was about journalism being made up of people with the right contacts rather than on merit.

          Robert Webb was just *so* privileged, wasn't he? Next he'll be telling us that when he was a child he lived in a house the size Jeremy Corbyn lived in and went to a school founded in 1656 like Jeremy Corbyn did.

          I believe this is called "social privilege". It's nothing to be ashamed of of course. But I think it is also important to be aware of your own privilege and to use it to help others when you can.

          Examples of privilege: 1. A safe, warm and dry home. 2. A stable family unit. 3. Your parents not being poor. 4. Eating three meals a day. I can admit having these privileges in my childhood. Why do you find it so difficult, Julia?

          Nice changing of the subject to Neo-Marxism. I'm not a Marxist or a Communist, so let's put that to one side. But "quite normal"? Let's have a look at that, shall we. 1. 42% of marriages end in divorce. (ONS). So, many without a stable family unit.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/12011714/Divorce-rate-at-lowest-level-in-40-years-after-cohabitation-revolution.html …
