Is this it?C4 News have just run a total car-crash interview with Social Mobility Commissioner Katharine Birbalsingh. Absolutely astonishing and worth catching on C4+1 if you missed it. The basic gist was “You, working class people, know your place! Don’t even try to compete with posh people with private school backgrounds. Not everyone needs to be PM or a wealthy banker, that’s simply not for you.”. She actually managed to word it even worse than that. Seriously, words fail me. WTAF?! Like a Harry Enfield character.
She’s someone who has done well out of setting up a Free School, which has, ironically, built it’s reputation on getting kids into Russell Group Universities.Yes, that’s it.
That’s a scary caption. Coffey is odious enough without going anywhere near her bowels.Eddie Mair has been doing what he does best as well:
She was shockingly dim. She had a few slogans which she deployed but that was it. Reminiscent of their Britain’s Not Racist panel and their widely ridiculed sham report.She’s someone who has done well out of setting up a Free School, which has, ironically, built it’s reputation on getting kids into Russell Group Universities.
When a fast food pizza company throws shade at the government you know we are all ****ed
It may have taken days to find someone. Its the backstory we rarely get to hear… Or maybe there was a queue.Why do folk agree to be in his puff pieces to camera when he’s out n’ about?.
Cruelty and restriction of opportunity as a marketable ideology.
I saw that too. I was only half-watching to begin with and was thinking who is this absurd prattling person and what's she doing on C4 News when it emerged she was the Social Mobility Commissioner. God help us.
Look™- Baroness Moan’s house isn’t going to clean itself, now is it? Not everyone can be a multimillionaire Conservative donor but they can play their part cleaning the toilet for one.She should be called the social immobility commissioner

What turns these symptoms of acute crisis into a chronic national breakdown is, as Lord Hill says, the rottenness of our political institutions. So profound is their decay that they can no longer properly face the problems, let alone tackle them.
Still reeling from the revelations of lockdown booze-ups, No 10 is focused solely on saving Big Dog. Cabinet ministers dare not call a halt to the entire farrago, perhaps realising that under another leader two-thirds of them would struggle to find gainful employment as milk monitors.
