I think since ww2 only 1 prime minister has went to a university other than Oxford.
A further 3 did not go to university.

The OP is merely pointing out that Biden is placing people who have been through a Progressive indoctrination camp.
I understand why you won't understand the implications of that...

Until the twentieth century, Oxford was the university for theology, Cambridge the university for science.
Evidently politics is not a science, but a branch of theology.
Neil Kinnock was famously the first member of his family to go to university, but he never became Prime Minister.
it's probably worse than that-Oxford,Tavistock Intitute,a little Monarch/MK Ultra programming,then government.

Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, yes.
I'd have to take your word for it, because I'm not knowledgable in that area, but it's very plausible.
I do know the conversation in Yes Minister about why there are three motorways going from London to Oxford, and none going to Cambridge.

Isn't there some ridiculously high % of cabinet ministers who did a single degree type (ppe) at Oxford?

Every right wing PM in the last century went to Oxford. It's a breeding ground for Tories and toffs.
Both Boris and ex PM Cameron were in the Bullingdon Club in Oxford who set fire to £50 notes infront of homeless people for their initiation, trashed houses/pubs/restraunts and stuck their dicks in dead pigs. Pretty much every recent front bench Tory was in the Bullingdon Club.
It's not progressive in the slightest, it's famous for it's stong right wing, traditionalist and conservative approach.everything.

OK, I had to go look it up, the lists of famous people who went to Oxford and Cambridge.
Interestingly Stephen Hawkin is the only one I could find, well, besides knowing personally a mad mathematician who is probably retired as a Professor at Glasgow University,
Famous Oxonians
Famous Cambridgians
Sorry Disraeli, I still prefer the Cambridge list
I watched a documentary years ago which was completely about, or had a part in it, explaining how Oxford Dons got so fed up with the religious basis and their denial of scientific evolution of man that they broke away and formed Cambridge. That was it! Pretty sure it was a series on Darwinism! And that is why I prefer the Cambridge graduates, Cambridge encourages 'outside the box' thinking (look at the list), as opposed to Oxford who seem to base their learning on everything that can be proven by everything that happened in the past. Just look how Boris keeps quoting Greek classics.
