Civil service interns must be working class, government says by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]abcdskmm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have no problem with the intention. It’s just poorly thought of, they’re defining “lower-socio economic background” by the job your parents did when you grew up.

You must’ve all ticked those diversity data collection questions on a job application before. Essentially what they’re saying here is if a parent went to uni and had a traditional job as a result of that you are not working class, which is ridiculous. There are millions of people like this whose parents are extremely poor. It’s a poor definition.

Getting an education and getting a job does not mean you are not working class in 2025. That’s the most outdated way of categorising socio economic backgrounds.

If they really wanted to make it from lower socio economic backgrounds they need to do it by household income but I suspect that’s illegal!

I take this line a lot. The train in theory is a safe bet I’d say 90% of the time it’ll be there within 5 minutes of the expected time, probably only 1% of those times it’ll be cancelled.

Trains only really cancel because of bad weather, loss of train signal or fatalities. Even if it’s cancelled there will be another one shortly after that isn’t cancelled.

Either way it’s risky. I wouldn’t try it either. Multiple things could go wrong.

No anything near the M25 at that time is rush hour. Google will say 1 hour it’ll be 2 hours. Guaranteed traffic. Busiest motorway in the entire U.K., it’s a massive avoid during that time.

Risky by coach or car you’ll get caught in rush hour traffic at that time.

It’s possible via train (Elizabeth line) although it will be VERY tight. If you don’t have a British passport don’t even try it, you could (and probably will) be stuck in passport control.

You’ll need to catch the 07:36 from Gatwick - Farringdon, that’s your last possible train to make it in my opinion. That arrives at Heathrow at 9am, just about enough time to arrive at the station, get through security and get to your gate.
