I think the point I am getting at is there is a group of people that largely descends from the British aristocracy that is extremely cliquish and has a large majority of its members in positions of power.

My neighbors wife knew Eddie Redmayne and his brother(I think both went to Eton) and although she said they were nice, they were in a totally different world and only really associated with people who also went to Eton/had large trustfunds. In England you would never see people like Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Steve Jobs etc who came from middle class families move to the highest strata of society and be accepted by those in that highest strata.

I am by no means bashing England, I think the country is awesome and have family that lives there, I am just not keen on the stratified nature of its society.
