Indeed. I'm on disability benefits (though genuine need) and *I* voted Conservative. I'm no toff, I'm barely working class but I know what needed to be done.
He got 3 B's and a D, which would have given him the required points, but you can get accepted by Oxford without any qualifications at all if they feel you would be an asset to the college or university.
I am not syaing that David Milliband is in that category, but it's not all dependant on getting 3 A's like everyone believes.
To me that just screams elitism, and proves that Oxford and Cambridge are not the meritocratic societies they claim.
I think it would be a crime for David Milliband to become leader of the Labour party, who are supposed to represent the working class. Yet how many working class folk would be considered "an asset to the college or university" with 3 B's?
