No; but it's true. I have no respect for someone who lacks ambition. And that simplicity, lack of ambition, and general anti-intellectualism which exists in this country is doing long-term, possibly irreperable, harm to it. It's the exact kind of person described who is responsible for the BNP and UKIP getting so many votes, for Britain's constant decline in world standards of education and the like, for rising violence, poverty, and drug problems on these estates, and so on and so forth. I wouldn't care, except my tax money gets wasted on these people.

Edit: Where you live and what you like aren't of any importance*. What you hope to achieve is.

*Although I'll admittedly be prejudiced against someone who doesn't want to "learn a load of languages, read a tonne of books, appreciate paintings and art, take a trip around the world"
