Alan Sugar started selling stuff from a market stall in london. Richard Branson started off flogging records and now owns an airline. Both would fail if they were starting out now, its safe to say.
Rags to riches stories are getting rarer.
But in Britain, the social mobility ladder hasn't just been lowered - its been smashed to pieces. Thatcher burst into tears when told she'd closed more grammars than Wilson and Callaghan combined. I don't know whether that was before or after she went mental though.
She closed plenty of them pete. Go ask Peter Hitchens on his blog.
I'd need to look into that pete. But as leader of the country with a big majority, she could've easily thwarted a few troublesome local authorities. She didn't.
But she was PM in the eighties when even more grammars bit the dust.
She shut more than Wilson and Callaghan combined.
LMFAO. Go on tell us all, What the fuck would you know about hard
work. Come on give us all a fucking good laugh.
