At some point in recent history, a "human right" became redefined as, "frankly, anything I want to do".
What is needed is a Statutory Instrument to define our human rights. We need the right to not be tortured, or wrongfully imprisoned, or harshly discriminated against, etc. We don't need the right to take drugs in a country where it's illegal, or to vote when I'm in prison for violating society, or to have twelve children when everyone else has to pay for them.
Sadly, nowadays, we all know that most people (including this lady) only claim a "human right" if they have no logical basis to support what they are asking for.

Hypognosis ...
You might be right.
Although you will appreciate that I only added the explanation about "patronising" for comic effect.
Because it's patronising to feel the need to explain what you mean by "patronising".
But you probably realised that. So maybe I'm being patronising by explaining this?

Middle class ... "no effect" on career
Working class ... "devastating effect" on future employment

Proof, if any were needed that Britain is openly class-ist. It makes me wonder how much perceived racism is as much about class differences as it about race. (It is a wonder that discrimination cases don't use it as a get-out, since there's no law against class discrimination, ttbomk).

I can only applaud the effort at funny bone tickle-age. My posts seldom get any laughs. (sniffle)

I agonised over posting my response, for exactly that reason.

Don't misunderestimate my ignoranitude.

You'll get stuck in a loop, if you're not careful. Meanwhile, I haven't posted on topic yet. Apologies are due, to aog.
