Knowing Your Place in Great Britain

“What is wrong with everyone nowadays? Why do they all seem to think they are qualified to do things far beyond their actual capabilities? This is all to do with the learning culture in schools — the child-centred learning emphasis which admits of no failure and tells people they can all be pop stars or High Court judges, or brilliant TV personalities — heads of states! without ever putting in the necessary work or effort, or having natural abilities.




“It’s the result of ‘social utopianism’, which believes humanity can be genetically re-engineered, or socially re-engineered, to contradict the lessons of history and the realities of nature.




“What on earth am I to say to Elaine in reply?! She is so PC it frightens me rigid!”




These are the words written by Charles, Prince of Wales in Great Britain, regarding an employee's inquiry about career advancement. It has set off a firestorm of controversy and a denial by Prince Charles in response to charges of elitism.



He runs a charity to help underprivileged people in his country. So what will he do to ensure that people CAN improve their career path and rise above the economic level in which they are born in Great Britain?
