Tory Ministers places at Oxbridge threatened by ‘fist pumping’ Wokerati
New figures from the Sutton Trust (Times 27th October) have revealed that 65% of Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet were educated at fee paying schools. 45% of the Cabinet went to Oxford or Cambridge Universities as Sunak did himself. Sunak is the fifth Premier in a row to go to Oxford.
However there could be trouble ahead. The Daily Telegraph (29th October) has revealed that Oxford and Cambridge Universities have taken steps to reduce students from fee paying schools and take more for comprehensives.
Melvyn Roffe who is head of the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference, which promotes fee paying schools, has claimed that Oxford University admissions tutors are ‘fist bumping in glee’ at taking fewer fee paying pupils. It is not reported as to whether they were tofu eaters or not.
