“A
ruling elite maintains an idea of what’s good and reasonable by a
whole series of methods. Who gets advancement, rewards and status? If
you don’t hold to the orthodoxy, you stop being invited to
meetings. There’s a phrase that people in centre-left politics use:
oh he’s very good. What they actually mean is: I agree with him.” - Former
president of the National Union of Students and chair of the Equality
and Human Rights Commission, Trevor Phillips
