Proportion of civil servants from low SEB by seniority. It is v striking to me...
1 - how flat the lines are. Almost no change over time?
2 - how perfectly stacked they are. Consistently smaller proportion of low SEB civil servants at each grade.

When the left riots* the question is "what's wrong with the left?"
When the right riots* the question is "what's wrong with the country?"
