Move beyond the educated elite, and the great majority in most countries outside Europe don't speak English.

English people are so trapped in this class paradigm.

An elite is someone who's for themselves and not for the country.

I care about education for everyone, not just the elite.

I don't know why that is, but English politics is just so overly white. It's very much about the class structure.

Only in North America is it regarded as a major achievement to speak one language moderately well.

Everyone has the impulse to be elite.

If you go to an elite school where the other students in your class are all really brilliant, you run the risk of mistakenly believing yourself to not be a good student.

Everything is about class in England, whether it's upper, lower or middle. Why should that be?

I don't like class distinction, and there is far too much of that in England.
