Seek help?
As in seek help from Big Brother as I'm quite obviously "insane" and my thoughts need correcting?

Well as you believe that drugs have been purposely foisted on society by the establishment and you state that you believe in the enforced sterilisation of 12 year olds - I think that its fair to say that you haven't got much of a clue.
No need to send you to room 101 - but if you come out with this sort of hilarious paranoid claptrap you really shouldn't be surprised that people categorise you as a delusional loony rather than as a man of wisdom.

Me: Comprehensive-educated lad, from West London estate. Mum a dinner lady, dad a chippie. They always made it clear to us we would only get out if we worked at whatever we did. I won a scholarship to Cambridge because of the luck of having good parents, and the support of two of my teachers. It took me five years to pay off my student debts, (and that's with a full grant in the days before Blair stole this from kids from poor backgrounds). It was worth every single penny.
In my school you were called 'posh' or 'gay' if you did well in exams. Kids used to gob at the 'O' level set as we walked across the playground. I learnt to box and did karate, to protect myself from the beatings handed out for being 'posh' by the kids who dealt speed behind the school canteen.
Education is not an indicator of class. Class is just money, pure and simple. It's not a birthright. This fucking country worships ignorance, and holds 'class' up as some badge of honour. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds always have a quick excuse to hand as to why they're stuck where they are. It's incredibly hard to get out, and education is the easiest route because, unlike sport, you don't need God-given talent, you just need application.
I'm a Guardian-reading, Oxbridge-educated bloke, and I'm fucking proud of it. I don't despise those with less money than me, nor do I feel anger against those with more. Prejudice is dependent on stupidity not 'class'.
Here endeth the rant of a boy educated out of his 'class'. God bless 'The Jam'.
