Quite an old story now, but I never really understood the furore.

Call it intelligence, IQ, talent, whatever you will, some people are clearly predisposed to be better at certain tasks.

And we've set up a society that rewards that. Gift of the gab? Politician or salesman. Good with numbers? Quantitative analyst. Brilliant literacy? Lawyer. Not stellar at anything? Minimum wage or unemployed.

That's not to say that we're going about things in the correct manner (or that Boris is ultra-clever, he did get a 2.i after all).

To me his comments are simply a statement of fact in modern day capitalism.

To change that would require a massive rethink of things like the labour 'market'.
