++Oxford graduates always tell you that they went to Oxford, usually before you ask, and they always announce that they got a First (if they did, and sometimes if they didn’t) so it is a realistic deduction to say that Harper/Truss are shirkers.

This isn’t really a general comment on those who didn’t get a First. The very nature of elite hierarchical degrees is that they exclude but on this occasion Osborne (along with Boris Johnson) got a 2nd because of partying. This early example of weakness of will then further revealed itself in his notorious ticket fiasco. The remainder of the examples were there as a polemical point. Though Grayling did have a shocking MPs expenses incident involving housing. Elite self righteous aristocrats denouncing the poor is obnoxious and this seemed the neatest way to make a point about shirking. Shirking isn’t the exclusive territory of benefit cheats as we saw in the entertaining Rifkind video entrapment incident. Thank you for this.
I am afraid my ‘Pass’ puts me firmly in the ‘Super Shirkers’ although I am not sure why two non-graduates are in the top list as you are classifying by formal educational achievements.
