The right to be judged on ability not background is a “basic British value”??!?!!!?

Since fucking WHEN? https://twitter.com/frasernelson/status/1294180761457831936
The astonishment of some people when confronted by the deliberate weaponised snobbery of the exam results debacle only serves to demonstrate how blithe they’ve been about the background radiation of snobbery that has always permeated our whole society.
Seriously, how can “The British upper and moneyed classes like having it all their own way and place obstacles in the path of people from poorer backgrounds in order that shore up their own status” come as a surprise to ANYONE?
Fraze, mate, look me in the eye and tell me that Boris Johnson is Prime Minister now because he’s been “judged on his ability not on his background” without laughing.
Dare you. Double dog dare you.
