Robert Webb had a devastating response to Julia Hartley-Brewer and it prompted quite the debate http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2018/04/23/robert-webb-devastating-response-julia-hartley-brewer-prompted-quite-debate/ …pic.twitter.com/EoScWNTPJ9

His final sentence somewhat negated the rest of his argument.
It's just a pity that he's reduced to this. He used to be mildly entertaining and I suspect he could still be. However, if trying to cause controversy on Twitter is his only means of getting noticed, maybe he should take notice and find a new career.
JHB is a talk show host and if she held boring views she'd have a boring show. That said, the very rare occasions I've sworn on Twitter I've felt like I've not used the correct words in displaying whatever emotion I was looking for.
Mr Webbs response was hardly devastating - it wasn't even particularly good swearing or entertaining. Anyone who gets to Oxford or Cambridge on merit deserves a tremendous amount of respect.
That's a different argument. I don't believe JHB's view of increasing the number of grammar schools is the answer to meritocracy. I'd like to see state schools given sufficient funding to ensure every child has the chance to succeed in their chosen path, university or not.
I don't think he's Oxbridge.
He comes across as a spoiled brat . So he didn't get in because he was clever...really? Why then?
Robert Webb is one of the spineless copy/paste virtue signalling masses from the heart of luvviedom?? I'm shocked I tells ya...shocked
You can't call a woman a Twat, every man knows that.....he must be a Twat thinking you can?
I think this is another example of Owen Jones starting something he can't back up then running away leaving you to get the grief
Interesting that being factual defines you as a twat though. He must be very clever.
It is funny though.
Can stage school even be counted? It's not a proper course really.
Isn't it strange how the, 'priviliged ' can never seem to see that they are, 'priviliged'.
If this is the best these two can offer as an argument we wasted our money letting them go to university let alone Oxford!
North of the border my mother calls people a twat as an alternative to using bad language and never realised that twat was offensive until I in jest called a colleague a twat in MK and the room went silent !
