He's not a member of the aristocracy, but his father was a lord and editor of the Times, he's an Old Etonian, he read history at Oxford, and he is worth £100 million+ with his wife.

I don't think he's pretending.

You're not going to be writing epoch defining speeches. You'll be writing a speech for an MP so he can open a school or something.

Its a skill imbued by random mutations and intelligent assortative mating, almost all intellectual capacities you possess at 18-21 are fixed and governed by genetic influence and random events in your life. If you had a mentor you would be capable of exceeding your currently, and evidentally, weak rhetoric skills. Being perfectly honest, speeches are for subhumans, i can creat convincing rhetoric off the cuff and sway people with my command of the room and wit. You’re not going to make it if you have to ask these people for help, ive asked them for two things, they failed twice. Completely incompetent, you and this board. Sad!
