When I was much younger, the 'elite' was something to which everyone aspired. Nowadays it's a term of abuse. What an indictment of the way, over the last 30 years, high achievement has become something to be despised, and the quest for equality has only had the effect of dragging everybody down. Those who buck the trend and accumulate significant wealth get pilloried in the press. (only those who create jobs and an increase in national wealth, that is; pop stars, worthless celebs and footballers who accumulate even greater wealth seem to be immune from criticism.)
Lowest common denominator rules -OK.
