I was reading some Medium stories by a guy about why he hated England earlier today. He said it was elitist. He'd been sent to Stowe School - very posh boarding school in Buckingham, where only the very richest kids go. He'd then gone to Cambridge University and become and investment banker in London.

His conclusion was that England is elitist and horrible. Erm... try mixing with some ordinary folk. Of course Oxford, Cambridge, private schools and investment banks are elitist. Those kinds of places are off limits to most of us! The attitude of the people you find in those places does not reflect the attitude of the rest of English society!
