Missing the point.

Have a look at this. Here's a brief synopsis:

Dr Charlton said: "The UK Government has spent a great deal of time and effort in asserting that universities, especially Oxford and Cambridge, are unfairly excluding people from low social-class backgrounds and privileging those from higher social classes.
"Yet in all this debate a simple and vital fact has been missed: higher social classes have a significantly higher average IQ than lower social classes."
The fact that so few students from poor families get into Oxbridge is not down to "prejudice" but "meritocracy", he said.

Of course it is Dr Charlton, that's all there really is to the story isn't it? Nothing to see here people, move along. Just another apologist for the retention of the privileged position of Oxbridge and the nepotism that's made Britain Great. How a supposedly learned academic can be so blinkered and unable to engage with the reality is frankly staggering. People are obviously just smarter the more money they have! If I'd only realised earlier I'd have just set about earning money and accumulating as many material possessions as possible and sat their while my brain grew. I'm glad I've finally seen the light, I don't think I'll bother going to my doctoral graduation now. I'll just get myself a credit card and start spending money I don't have. Oh, and get a nice Barrett house as well.
