The domination of our culture by the privately educated in one statistic.
In the last decade 40% of all UK nominates for the Oscars, the BAFTAs & the Mercury prize were educated at private schools, who (just to remind you) accunt for around 6% of all pupils in the UK.
This is what happens when the arts are defunded & only those with rich parents can easily follow a career in culture.
Yet one moe aspect of the Tories class warfare!
