A farce.

 

[Stato]

I presume you read HGTTG? "Dent, Arthur Dent" and all that. The ruler of the universe was the one bloke among all those in the frame who didn't want the job. He lived in a shed, in the rain, with his cat (called 'The Lord' or somesuch), giving unfathomable advice to those who sought guidance, and pieces of fish to his cat. Not that he saw it as 'his' cat. I've always liked that.

(If only GB hadn't decided that what the people wanted to see was him grinning. <sigh>)

Or that he should like The Arctic Monkeys! I don't want my PM to have enough time available to be into music to the level that I am. And hands off Gillian Welch Cameron!

Douglas Adams was another lovely old misanthrope.

Because it's a specific type of self belief that seems unique to those who have been through the higher echelons of the British public school system, one of the life advantages that parents actually pay these 'charities' to give their offspring. Its a superficial charming confidence that can disarm and mask a belief in innate superiority. Had Boris Johnson not had it, he would never have got anywhere near public office. He was a proven liar many times over, but he didn't see consequences nor have to consider the fall out from his actions because he had been taught from a very early age that he was one of what Tom Wolfe called the 'Masters of the Universe' and that whatever was good for him, would be good for the world in general.

For Cameron it meant that he was quite willing to gamble the country's economic future, the British Union and peace in Northern Ireland to try to solve an internal wrangle in the Conservative Party - Like the arrogant fools who sent the Light Brigade into the Valley of Death and those who sent a generation to their deaths in the Somme, like those who messed up in Suez, or carved up continents to benefit them and their old school friends, he never considered that he may lose, because he'd been taught to believe in his own invincibility. He and his class knew what was best and the people whose lives they treated as currency just didn't matter because they were the pawns not the kings:

That's why public school arrogance. Those of us taught at comprehensives will generally always have doubt. Those who've been through that education system are blessed with the mistaken self belief that they are the best of us and can be trusted to make the decisions that are best for nations. I say blessed, because they can be sure that even if their decisions are catstrophiacally wrong, it will be others that face the worst of the consequences.

I went to public school / private education and I am wracked with insecurities.

Mind you, I hated every minute of the five years I was sent away for. I mean HATED. Leaving there was the best day of my life, before or since.

I firmly believe Liz Truss has mental health issues and learning difficulties.

She’s rather other.

Let's just hope that this madness is not repeated between the two most recent unelected Foreign Secretaries....

Falklands, anyone ?

You didn't have the right genes for it

Weirdly my grand dad and uncle were both freemasons and became chairman of the licensed victuallers association. The chain was probably broken when my dad saw Mosely and his blackshirts marching down Tooley street, and decided to become a communist (for a few weeks, anyway). Oh, and it's difficult even liking the elite let alone aspiring to join it when you're autistic, as I have discovered to my amusement.

Merely a reach that exceeds her grasp, I suspect.

(And, I mean, who hasn't dressed up to look like Margaret Thatcher? )

That particular outfit was crazy. Like she was going for an exact match. I'm amazed she didn't get the barnet done to match.

I suspect more at play.

I'd heard rumours about her bedroom escapades but that mental image is past the pale

Come on, tell us

Ha!

I was on a military scholarship as we were a feeder school for Sandhurst. Put me off the military.

I was also poor. And rich kids can smell poor.

Without going into detail, to this day I view people with wealth with suspicion.

With any luck she won’t even be a MP after the next election, let alone leader. Come on Fareham people - you may be Pompey-supporting ****s, but kick her out.

You have provided plenty enough info. No need for more. I appreciate you had a terrible time. I'm sorry if I seemed facetious. It was a joke. Albeit the likelihood of thriving in a public school, when all other factors are accounted for, is likely to be genes, with pupils directed their by parents who favour that system.

My missus has just finished editing a book which is a reminiscence of a former pupil of a certain school, drooling over its virtues. She doesn't like the book, and likes it even less now I have told her about an old pal of mine went to that school and was bullied, beaten and abused there. His dad was second in command to an ambassador overseas, hence the arrangement. My pal, sadly for him, is almost certainly a late- (or never)- diagnosed resident of the autistic end of the spectrum, and has spent his life at loggerheads with employees, systems, corruption and cant. Bless him. AKA: mad as a snake, albeit deeply entertaining and a very good man. It is what it is.

Get David over to the middle east ASAP so he can win the Nobel peace prize.
