Scenario 2
A child born into a working class family is adopted by an upper class family and is subject to all advantages that affords him, top public school etc, he will inherit the family title. Is he upper class? because he has inferior breeding he must still be working class right?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

The child will be a thoroughgoing member of the toffs, although he or she might have a slightly brutish appearance.
