“Today’s Cambridge elite hail mainly from outside Britain”While I myself have little interest in membership, I would actually be sad to see it go. From Californian beach-dwellers to Singaporean socialites, today’s Cambridge elite hail mainly from outside Britain. The main antagonists in the British class war are still a top hat-sporting, Tory-voting, King’s English-speaking, domineering Victorian aristocracy. Like a dog shelter, it is simply providing a bit of a sanctuary for this whimpering class before its inevitable demise. So I treat walking past the Pitt much like I would treat watching Black Rhinos on the Serengeti.
