Boris Johnson is the son of a fairly ordinary civil servant. He attended Eton on a paid scholarship. The original Public Schools were so named because they are open to pupils irrespective of locality, denomination or paternal trade or profession or family affiliation with governing or military service, and also not being run for the profit of a private owner. Eton provide bursaries to pupils to attend. 240 boys every year, out of 1,350 attending, receive financial assistance, with 100 of them having their fees fully covered on the basis of parental low income. 40% of the boys at Gordonstoun receive financial assistance. Out of 1000 girls at Marlborough, about 100 are on partial bursaries, and 50 are on full bursaries. Your communistic slur on private education is actually incorrect. There is every chance that Archie and Lilli will rub shoulders with your beloved proletariat. But crypto-socialists like you (people who pretend to be other creeds except socialism) always resent independent education, while pretending to support so-called home-school. Recent studies show shocking levels of physical and sexual abuse among homeschooled children.
