Bill Rammell…’batin!
May 29th, 2008The title of this post is a reference to the unmissable film Idiocracy. But you know this!
And you also know that Bill Rammell and his sick ilk are predators thinning the herd of its intelligent people…enough of that…read on:
Working classes ‘have lower IQs’
Working class people have lower IQs than those from wealthy backgrounds and should not expect to win places at top universities, an academic has claimed.
Newcastle University’s Bruce Charlton said fewer working class students at elite universities was the “natural outcome” of class IQ differences.
The reader in evolutionary psychiatry questioned drives to get more poorer students into top universities.
The government has criticised Dr Charlton’s comments.
Dr Charlton said: “The UK Government has spent a great deal of time and effort in asserting that universities, especially Oxford and Cambridge, are unfairly excluding people from low social-class backgrounds and privileging those from higher social classes.
“Yet in all this debate a simple and vital fact has been missed: higher social classes have a significantly higher average IQ than lower social classes.”
The fact that so few students from poor families get into Oxbridge is not down to “prejudice” but “meritocracy”, he said.Higher Education Minister Bill Rammell said: “These arguments have a definite tone of ‘people should know their place’.
“There are young people with talent, ability and the potential to benefit from higher education who do not currently do so. That should concern us all.”
Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University and College Union, said: “It should come as little surprise that people who enjoy a more privileged upbringing have a better start in life.
“It is up to all of us to ensure that not having access to the social and educational benefits that money provides is not a barrier to achieving one’s full potential.”

Neu Labour vermin once again, try to have it both ways.
On the one hand, they want to screen children for criminal tendencies that are passed on genetically, and then on the other hand, say that high IQ cannot be passed down to children genetically.
Lets think about this logically.
If it is the case that IQ can be passed down genetically, and that people having a high IQ self select, i.e. they only breed with people who also have high IQs, and if it is true that people who have high IQs tend to be wealthy, and if we equate wealth with class, then it follows that higher social classes have a significantly higher average IQ than lower social classes, and it also follows that they are more likely to win places at and be more represented in the best universities.
Of course, many couples meet in university, creating a trans-generational high IQ feedback loop, reinforcing the whole phenomenon. But I digress.
You cannot have it both ways.
You cannot discriminate against families for their ‘genetic criminality’ and target them with screening, and then say that the science behind it is discriminatory when it comes to the other side of the curve, the high IQ, built for genius superclass that are naturally predisposed to win places at university through exams.
This has nothing to do with money. Only it is to do with money.
If Bill Rammell was really serious and honest about this, he would drop the sour grapes whining and push for the creation of a university where only financially and genetically disadvantaged people are allowed to attend. But this is not about getting education to disadvantaged people (de-gene-rates); this is about the prestige of going to Oxbridge, and the ancient, boring, fruitless class struggle that fossils and throwbacks like Rammell have been engaged in for a mind numbingly long time.
Guess what Bill, no one is buying your bullshit philosophy. You people are like a rock and roll band that have been let loose in a hotel room on tour, smashing it to pieces, throwing the TV out of the window, drinking the mini bar dry, ordering everything on room service and then wasting it. For ten years.
Without the rock and roll.
Government doesn’t create anything; they steal from one person to give to another. In this case, they want to steal the futures of people who have the natural ability to make use of attending university, to give places to people who do not have that ability.
Imagine if we applied Bill Rammell’s twaddle to sport. By his measures, the England team should be made up of people who cannot play football or cricket, simply because it is not ‘fair’ that genetically disadvantaged people do not get a chance to represent their country in sport on the international sceene. What Bill Rammell’s ideas do is create teams that will always lose. And no, there is nothing wrong with winning or competition.
The worst effect the Bill Rammells bring about in this is that each time they interfere with meritocracy, the future is altered into a worse state, as people who can improve technology and everything else are shunted into timelines where they do not have any results or influence, thanks to being cut off from the environment of the best intellects and the jazz effects of being around other smart people.
This is the real and tragic effect of jealousy politics. It hurts everyone in the long run.
They don’t care about any of this of course, and it should none of it should come as a surprise to anyone; these are, after all, the people who have been deliberately dumbing down everything they touch for a very long time.
Finally, I wonder if Bill Rammell would prefer to have a doctor who was the result of his scheme working on his brain in surgery or someone who got their qualification because they are capable?
Bill, you’re fucked up, you talk like a fag, and your shit’s all retarded!
