My old flatmate went to Oxford (or Cambridge, I forget which) and loads of her friends came out of college and became Special Advisors immediately. You wonder how they can advise on anything aged 22 when they've only ever experienced public school and a very exclusive, rich university.

One became an MP in the last election and will probably be a minister of a sort in no time because he superficially ticks a very useful box for the party.
