I wonder if John Inverdale's old man told him, "Listen son, you're not very intelligent and you'll never get a job where tact and diplomacy are required, but you did go to a public school. You'll have no trouble getting a job at the BBC"?
"Grandad's swearing at the telly..." (Alan Klein, "What a Crazy World.")
Old, tired and somewhat disillusioned, but trying to keep up standards. Aware that capitalism cannot be reformed, but despairing of its dissolution in the near future, I use whatever means are available to me to avoid capitulation. I join forces with other resisters in the Industrial Workers of the World.

Not very intelligent, public school? Alternative was to be an MP.
There used to be a saying, "Not being clever enough for anything else he went into politics."
