Today I learned… “Under Eton’s statute, the provost – who heads the board of governors known as the fellows – is appointed by the sovereign on the advice of the prime minister of the day. Files released by the National Archives show how successive prime ministers were required to consider the administration of the UK’s most exclusive private school.”

Think of that what you will.

They should maybe try to visit Britain, to discover that they aren't 'better' than anyone now. Plus you can now have a 'British' education for a price.

If ex students from are anything to go by - then you feck off with that in my opinion!

What Norway and Torbay could teach us on the NHS - liveapp.inews.co.uk/2023/04/16
The 1st step to any problem resolution is recognising there is one. Politics has become so aimless and self-serving, either through incompetence or ignorance. The quicker we stop harping on about "world class", the quicker we'll be that what we think we are (or can aim for it)! may have cost someone thousands, but the calibre of what it has turned out is lamentable.

I fear it might need something a little stronger than salt.

Tax dodging is an integral part of the fabric of . How in all that's sane did this crucible for cu*ts gain charitable status?

Do they have a specific 'A' Level for 'Entitlement'?

The bits ignored.

Some of the college aims, taken from website...

"develops enquiring minds and fosters a life-long appreciation of independent thinking and learning;

develops physical and mental health, emotional maturity and spiritual richness;

nurtures the value of leadership and service;

celebrates kindness, loyalty, gratitude, integrity and determination."

🇬🇧 👨🏼‍🎓 Why do private schools produce such disastrous governments? 🏛️🏚️

“… there is no escaping Eton’s association with some of Britain’s worst recent leaders. The social cohesion of the country, its economic strength and international standing have all been damaged by Brexit, the divisive campaign that preceded it and the Trussonomics experiment that followed”
