    The British oligarchy

    Never created any wealth, complete failures in business, yet have still trousered millions.

    This is just three, but the vast majority of their ilk are exactly the same.

        The most shocking thing I've read today is that you're in your early forties.

        I'd have had a windbag like you down as mid 50s at least.

        You must be one of those "young fogey" types.

        I, on the other hand, have genuine miles on the clock .

            I wouldn't say English is entirely useless.

                They are richer than you are despite having crap degrees
                I suppose they could have done a computer science degree like yours and become a complete loser like you.
