Frank Witte 🇪🇺🇳🇱🇩🇪🇨🇵: Statistically, if you have one great-grandparent of West European descent, you are almost certainly ancestrally related to Charlemagne. "First of my family to go to college" sounds less impressive if the next line were "but I wouldn't be the first Holy Roman Emperor, if the postion were available".

Anyway the whole “first in family” thing annoys me cos who knows? Has he checked every single ancestor? 🤷‍♂️

  Matt Goodwin makes a living out of railing against university educated elites & his whole schtick is "he was the first person in his family to go to university", which is a bit weird given that his Dad, now being heavily invoked for his Manchester connection, appears to have a string of degrees.
