Fiona Hill on English social class

A quote from Fiona Hill while giving evidence at the Impeachment hearings in the US last week.

"I can say with confidence that this country [US] has offered for me opportunities I never would have had in England.

"I grew up poor, with a very distinctive working-class accent. In England in the nineteen-eighties and nineteen-nineties, this would have impeded my professional advancement. This background has never set me back in America.”
