   > The government will restrict civil service internships to students from poorer families as part of a drive from ministers to make Whitehall more working class.
   > The main internship scheme designed to attract university students to the civil service will now only be available for students from "lower socio-economic backgrounds", judged by what jobs their parents did when they were 14.

     translated from Russian Wikipedia article "Социальный статус" (social status):
     
     > In the Soviet Union, the following were distinguished [...] Upon entering work (service), a “personal personnel record sheet” was filled out, which had a column (No. 6) “Social origin”. Usually, this column was filled out with one of the following options: “from peasants”, “from workers”, “from employees”. As a rule, the social status of the head of the family was indicated.[12]

     @lebronjames75 @lain as a taxi driver I would not consider myself "intermediate".
     
     is there a tier called "shit eating ape"? that's what it feels like most of the time.
