So the BBC is now in the limelight. With resignations being rewarded with payoffs twice the contracted amount. It seems that this country and its instututions, organisations and corporations are led by a class that sees themselves justified in taking or giving away public money just because that is their right.
Not only are they priveledged at birth with money but benifit from an educations that seems to reinforce their ideas of their own worth. No doubt George Entwistle was promoted at an unfortunate time for him which coincided with significant errors on the part of people he took a significant salary to manage. However S..T happens and he paid the price. However another public servant saw it as his responsiblity to soften the blow with a significant sum of other peoples money.

The day is fast approaching when many ordinary men and women of concience will be proud to be called Plebs to differenciate themselves from the "Managing classes".

 "Today, Pleb is often used to describe a person who appears to belong to the lower or middle classes of society.

This term was originally used to refer to the class of common people in ancient Rome. These people were often poor or middle class, but could also be very wealthy. A wealthy Pleb differed from a Patrician (the elite/upper class) because they were not born into their social status, but rather moved up in society on their own steam.

Upperclassman: "He doesn't have an education and he has a crappy job that earns him very little money. He's such a Pleb"!
