When I was young I used to read lots of comics and children’s books. I had an impression of what Public Schools (Private Schools) were all about. They were the place where extremely wealthy people sent their pampered, soft kids to be abused and told they were better than everybody else. They nurtured elitism and contempt and were largely things of the past.
Those comics and stories featured extreme caricatures like Billy Bunter and Lord Snooty.
What a surprise!!
Billy Bunter is now running the country and Lord Snooty is lolling on the bench as Leader of the House and pulling the strings!
