Higher Education Minister Bill Rammell [came out with the inevitable] "These arguments have a definite tone of 'people should know their place'."
Correct! I know my place, and that's in an office doing tax planning, I'd be an absolute disaster on a football field, in a car repair workshop or in an operating theatre.
Is Bruce Charlton not stating the corollary of the blindingly obvious - that people with higher IQs (or other innate abilities) tend to get to the top, and that most such traits (be it IQ, sporting ability, musicianship etc) tend to be hereditary?
Would it help to allow the 'working classes' to take more exams like this?

Burn the witch! You're forgetting that everybody is equal and we each have unique individual talents. How dare you suggest we are all differently abled? The PC police will be round soon ;-)
Q - if people succeed on merit and ability then why is the Cabinet full of such c****?
I think the 'working class' will prove their actual intelligence compared to how intelligent the government think they are, when Labour get trashed at the General Election for trying to take us for mugs.
Is not inmate dishonesty and cunning worth a bucketful of IQ. Look at all the rich fellas.
