This recruitment advert was a guaranteed news item has it hits on one of the core themes in the cultural self narrative in the UK - it’s a class riven society, ruled by entrenched elites. The expected response is to condemn the employers for the egregious lack of inclusiveness in this advert, but I ended up in a more sympathetic place - this family knows how the world works as is, not as we like (and sometimes pretend) it to be. Would you do the same for your kid?
