I’m a Charli XCX enjoyer, so no shade, but it’d be foolish to ignore the fact that talent is something that takes space to explore… and if you’re working class, that space is filled with annoying shit like trying to survive, before you can even think about carving out a nook for creativity.

Congratulations to BRIT winners Charli XCX (Bishop's Stortford College, £38,319 per year), AG Cook (King Alfred School, £27,747) and The Last Dinner Party (Bedales, £52,075) for showing that people from ordinary backgrounds can reach the top in pop music, that most egalitarian of art forms.

Charli XCX et al were raised free of all that, and that freedom shows in their talent.
