Just found this quote from Fiona Hill.
"I applied to Oxford in the '80s and was invited to an interview. It was like a scene from Billy Elliot: people were making fun of me for my accent and the way I was dressed. It was the most embarrassing, awful experience I had ever had in my life."
EDIT: And some more info about English accents and Hill's challenges. https://www.ft.com/content/caf26e06-10a4-11ea-a225-db2f231cfeae
