Bikejacking on Kingsland Road

I don't see why not. The opportunities are there. Oxford and Cambridge are more than willing to take on state school kids who perform well and they some drive to succeed. One of my best friends from school lives on a council estate in Kentish Town, his father's a minicab driver and his mother's a housewife. He got in to Cambridge to do Economics. He's half Malaysian, half Filipino, too, so that's race out of the equation. He got it through pure hard work.

I was very obviously steered away (blocked?) from trying an Oxbridge interview by senior teachers at my school. 30 from my year succeeded on that path (all that tried, and were encouraged), and off those, only one was - like me - working class. But he was a bit less gobby in the face of hypocritical authority.

TBH, I don't really care, but I do believe that working class Oxbridge undergrads are a token gesture.
