We straight white Oxbridge-educated males who rule Britain are used to periodic rumblings of discontent from below. Now the transvestite artist Grayson Perry, writing in the New Statesman magazine, has savaged what he calls “Default Man”: “With their colourful textile phalluses hanging round their necks, they make up an overwhelming majority in government, in boardrooms and also in the media.” The writer Caitlin Moran half-jokes that she is the only working-class Briton with a newspaper column: “I have the entire quota.”
我們這類從牛津劍橋（Oxbridge，也稱“牛橋”）畢業、統治著英國的白人異性戀男性，對定期從較低階層發出的不滿之聲習以為常。如今，異裝癖藝術家格雷森?佩里(Grayson Perry)在《新政治家》(The New Statesman)雜志上抨擊他所謂的“默認男”(Default Man)時說:“他們脖子上垂著五顏六色象征著陽具的領帶，占據著政府、董事會以及媒體絕大多數的席位。”作家凱特琳?莫蘭(Caitlin Moran)半開玩笑地稱自己是專欄作家中唯一一個來自工薪階層的英國人：“我一人就占掉了全部配額。”
