      @@splinterbyrd you can still get 3 A*s from state, state should always be given priority when the grades are the same and be given the place, but it is fairer to admit the person with the highest grades, an example of this is my grandfather whose first job was as a miner at age 16 yet he still got the highest grades possible and got a full scholarship to Edinburgh winning a gold medal for his contribution to the physics department. So yes the state school system does make it harder however a state pupil with 3 A's should never be accepted over a private school student with 3 A*'s

      @@hermanjacobs4425 There are industries where the university matters, in the UK anyway. Many financial companies only recruit graduates from Russell Group unis such as Oxford. Intellectual ability does count in technical roles, but obviously there are many roles where university achievement is not important, creativity, thinking on your feet, practical skills count far more. Of course once you get experience, your past university doesn’t count for much if anything. My opinion of HR departments is that they are useless, a bunch of non technical people infused with political nonsense who look for reasons not to hire people, and get in the way.
      In one sense you are spot on. In many companies how good a job you do is unimportant because many managers don’t know what’s going on. What matters is flattering the boss, making him/her feel good, creating the right impression, sounding good. I’ve come across several people who were almost useless, and very lazy but with their head half way up their boss’s backside. Others are so bureaucratic and ineptly managed that ability is stifled.

    Hahaha I have loved Tracey Ullman since her TV show that introduced the Simpsons! I was lucky enough to go to one of their live tapings and she was amazing, and she still is amazing and she still sticking it to the Royals which I think is so funny. I loved her characterization of princess Margaret wow! That was nasty but she was nasty LOL. Anyway you got to make fun of the Royals because really they should be known as: “Windsor entertainment and Social influence Inc.” Oh the queen does work hard for whoever she’s working for, but she expects quite a bit in return and she gets it! What I’d really like to be is a fly on the wall at the end of the night when the queen can retire into her bed chambers and begins to remove all her costume and then her real fraudulent, grifter personality comes out as she plots with her now dementing husband, spouting off one racial slur after the next! . The British have to get over the fairytale they are mesmerized by to see the corruption, and understand they’ve been banboozled. Monarchy is so 16th century, Dahling.Do you still need Princess Pushy in your lives? After all, YOU are picking up the tab!
