As opposed to the millions who believed that the NHS was going to get £350 million extra, or that Trump was really going to lock up Hillary Clinton?

Public shaming? It wasn't the Guardian who printed the names of the judges involved in the Article 50 decision and declared them enemies of the people.

Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

Of course a social worker who is against gay adoption has effectively taken a job which brings them into conflict with legal provision of adoption. Similarly a doctor who objects to abortion or transgendering, is placing their values ahead of their oath and job.

Judges don't have discretion on what is and isn't a crime, that's established by government. Personal views don't really come into the judiciary. Having worked with a few, they tend to be vote conservative or liberal democrat and have interesting views about what they believe personally, and what they will endorse. They do tend to be quite authoritarian (which goes with the territory).

Obviously, its a bit after my time as a student, but Germaine Greer tends to be quite high on a few reading lists. Plus my experience of university is that most students don't really give a s**t about politics either and don't fit the student stereotype at all (most being average dressed, ordinary kids rather than Student Gwants).

I rather suspect that most of the people you are referring to - the sort of tossers that go through public school, into the professions and to the top of society - what generally gets called the "Establishment" are many things; but Liberals they aint.

I actually don't have a problem with liberals. I believe they are broadly trying to do the right thing. My problem is that their idea of what the right thing is sometimes the wrong thing.
My fear is that the liberal bias in the media and schools teaches people to believe certain attitudes as gospel. That said, I am also grateful that some of those attitudes counter what I see as far more destructive ones such as the Christian, religious/conservative influence in the US. The only problem is consistency. Some other religions seem to get a free pass.

That is a separate problem and one that cannot be easily solved in a capitalist society. I can't see that denying people their inheritance is an option even if that advantage was originally based on some skullduggery of the past. Some people do go to Oxbridge on merit of course.

Having spent thirty years in the Liberal Party and the Liberal Democrats - and I owe the by-election in Croydon for that - until I resigned over the coalition it feels very much part of the same problem. Where you see a Liberal elite I see a complete absence of liberals though doubtless many of them are well-meaning enough. What I object to is people buying advantage for themselves and their family regardless of talent. Let people achieve based upon merit and abilities not because they were given a head start in life.
