'No, more I would say the split can be seen within our educational backgrounds.' Archie again paused, contemplating how to move his Bishop. 'Did you know that roughly just seven percent of the British public go to Private schools yet they hold the key positions across the country? I believe it is around seventy percent of Judges were privately educated whilst, more shockingly for me, I believe it is around forty percent make up our countries newspaper columnists. Utter unrepresentative madness when you think about it, yet they hold all the power. Privilege holds the power. And that my friend is the same here, just in an earlier form; they are the privates and we are not. That is where the divide, by and large, lies. They are the seven percent with the privilege and the power and we are the ninety three on the periphery. Granted the statistics are a little different here; we are a slightly unrepresentative focus group you might say, ourselves more privileged than others, but that is the general essence of it. The Privates chose that divide though, not us, and Francis lets it happen because he understands the social boundaries as well as anyone. He has been living off them his whole life. It comes down to the privileged, holding privilege over the not as privileged. Nothing more, nothing less. It is bullying in effect, yet is somehow described as society.'
