Social mobility campaign!
I'm launching a campaign to push for greater social mobility in this country. Do you feel that your opportunities are limited by the class into which you were born and the educational options that were open to you? Do you feel that certain sectors of British society are born with a leg up on others, leaving no room for bright, capable individuals to ascend to the upper classes?
I've set up a website to deal specifically with these issues, and hope that together we can come up with a solution. Go to WWW.SOCIALMOBILITYNOW.ORG and let me know what you think by emailing SOCIALMOBILITYNOW@GMAIL.COM.
Together we can push for greater mobility. Let's start now.

Yes, I was born into the Etonian aristocracy, and my opportunities are hopelessly limited. I find it extremely hard to live in the underclass whose wealth and opportunities have contracted since 1997. I have tried living several times in deprivation in a council estate in Camden that the council wanted to ALMO, claiming tax credits that I get accused of needing to repay because Gordon Brown's rubbish system doesn't work, but each time I have kept ending up on the Conservative front bench.
The polarisation in this country is a disgrace. How is a toff like me to end up in the proletariat?
