Just so that we are clear, my mother left hime at 14. Her parents had a home made of home made bricks, with a mud floor, no electricity, no bathroom, and food was cooked on a lig fire.

My late father was a holocaust survivor, He fled to South Africa with the clothes on his back. In order to get in (as the country was not accepting Jews), someone had to pay the equivalent of £18000.

Yes, my late father had a successful business, but there was no help from family money. There was no family money.

Yes, I went to a private school and was exposed to waelthy people. However I was rejected and spat upon. The afrikaners called me a bloody Jewess. The Jews called me a bloodt gattas. And the English called me a bloody rockspider.

I was 31 before I made friend, and it was short lived. Neither of my parents ever gave me money after I left school. If I used the phone in my father's flat, I had to pay for the call.

I left home at 18 after bern badly beaten by my mother. I have been struggling on my own for lifetime

Cousellors in my 50s told me that people with my degree of abuse Re dead by the age of 25 - that what I had accimplished was muraculous.

I did not qualify for entry to the USA. I won a green card.

I find your judgements about my 'pruviledge' to be highly distressing. You are not the firt and you will not be the last.

Shame on you
