If you actually read what I wrote rather than fishing around for a cheap bit of point scoring I didn't mention Latin or his intellect, I actually commented on people who were only impressed by his ability to put down rather worrying themselves about his ability to improve matters. I don't think there is anything wrong with having an education but it's a shame when it is used to belittle. My remark was aimed at people who are more interested in put down than help up so I shouldn't be surprised that you commented.

But it still doesn’t hold true Felix. JRM is polite to a fault. He doesn’t instigate a brutal put down unless he is presented with the opportunity.

Hmm, I read some of his "ideas" and fear he is all about bright intoxicating new ideas,

so now,

just lets rapidly move onto the next intoxicating new idea,

while blithely ignoring the fiasco our last new idea turned out to be.

Stupid persons idea of a clever person.

 

 

If he had  say a brummie accent he could say the exact same, and not be taken seriously, but certain people  have undue respect for posh sounding people by some kind of weird warped logic that posher automatically = clever  so treat his every innnane word like hes some kind genius oracle.

 

Same with  bumbling Boris.

 

Both have realized content isn't important. "Eton Trumps" throw in a  a few latins phrases to impress the serfs

Absolute bollocks to that idea Stere, I do not conflate intelligence, dialect and education.

They are three quite separate things, and in no way connected.

As in one can be intelligent and uneducated, or educated but unintelligent, and how one speaks is merely a result of where one was born, mostly.

JRM and Boris were from birth both searingly intelligent, highly motivated, and are now definitively intellectual, due in no small part to their superlative Eaton education.

Tough!
