Entry to Oxford and Cambridge Universities is by interview, which is the part people forget. Yes, some bright people do go there, but they take a disproportionate amount of private school children. I wouldn't be surprised if Binface went to boarding school like Farage did.

Oxbridge is as much a part of the establishment as Eton and Westminster School. Very few people go to these places yet they are overrepresented in the political classes.

But you have to pass the interview! Doubt poncey Farage could've done that, else he would have. Or maybe the interviewer was confused on how to pronounce his surname - is it pronounced "Faraajh" like a pretentious Frenchman, or "Farridge".
