Agree with that.

The spread of BME across the different colleges at Oxford is more important than than the overall numbers. Certain colleges actively recruit from selected high performing state/ academy schools and those kids that tick the boxes get supported by the schools and the colleges to meet admission requirements. You have a chance to aim for these colleges if your school is part of this network. You have virtually zero chance of getting into many colleges as they recruit only posh cunts and don’t do much practical outreach . It’s still rotten
This is only from my experience of my kids schools. Please correct me if this is not right!

In any case, 'work -> prosperity' is bollocks (rather reminds me of the sign over the gates of Auschwitz too) A century or so ago there was an idea that increasing technology would give us all more free time, of course the opposite has happened, but why exactly should anyone deserve to live without comfort and yes even luxury, just because they can't (or won't!) "work hard"? That's some medieval shit right there. I'm on a train on my way to work (lol) so I won't be finding references, but there is no reason at all why "hard work" should be the gatekeeper of a happy, healthy, comfortable life, for anyone.

There is a lot of forced teaming going on. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown's take is understandable.

So what if Sunak is the UK's first non-white PM? In my view, he was raised to be a snob
I have more in common with Iain Duncan Smith than this ambitious climber

It's likely to just be ego. He's very rich in his own right, and his wife is much richer still - I don't know that living a public life as someone who will be genuinely despised is easier than continuing the private life of a billionaire - unless your ego pushes you in that direction.

Maybe. There are certainly more possibilities than the two examples floated in my question.
I think the only certainty is that whatever he has said publicly about why he went into politics is unlikely to be true and the timing makes me suspicious. What was happening in 2015 which made him interested getting involved? The Brexit vote was looming and it might’ve seemed to someone so inclined that with possibilities opening up for taking the U.K. in a direction it couldn’t travel while held in lockstep to the EU it’s better to get involved and try to make that direction one to suit super rich people such as himself. Time will tell I guess.
A desire to push and shape Brexit is certainly a plausible motivation for his career change.

Well now he has his chance, assuming he lasts more than a few months. So let’s see where things go under his leadership.
Not sure, but I expect that Infosys will regularly be bidding on large HMG IT projects now.

I have to commend you for shoe-horning that extra " the cunt " into your post. This is one of the best posts in the thread, and it was better than any newspaper. Thank you.

He hates poor people and wants them to die?

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
Looks more like Blair!
Just out of casual interest, is that genuinely what you think Tory motivation is, or do you just say that for effect?

See also, ' let the bodies pile high'. All the fucking same.

Thought the same.
Even more disturbingly I had Sky News on in the background yesterday afternoon. A repeat of his speech in Downing Street came on and for a moment I thought it was Blair speaking

I think Sunak et al. are utterly indifferent to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people killed by the austerity policies he plans to continue, and if you were to load him up with enough truth serum he might acknowledge that he thinks society is better off without them.

That they hate the poor is self evident. I don’t think they want them to die though, not all at any rate. They/capitalism needs the poor. They cannot have their wealth and power without them.

I'd turn that question around rather. Given what they do, what might their motivation be? Their motivation is kind of irrelevant given that it is their actions that matter to the world, but I would guess a test of whether or not you have got someone's motivation right would be how effectively you can predict what they will do. Tories are rarely unpredictable. Sometimes. Of all people, Michael Gove at Environment wasn't all bad. But you don't get surprised that often.
