    That's always been my thoughts on it. I find these, "they're all from Eton, posh ****s" stuff rather weird.

    Nothing stopping anyone from getting into politics, if it's an interest.

    Eton. Christ Church. Oxford Union. Job done.

    That's the route. You'd go to RADA if you want to act or Sandhurst if you want to be an Army Officer. No different.

    But I don't see why Eton should be so much more elite than the others schools in the same price range. Why aren't Harrow, Charterhouse, St Pauls, Westminster, Winchester, Marlborough, Wellington etc equally represented?

    That's the point I'm making.

    It's not more elite, it merely returns more prime ministers.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Yeah. But why? Why does Eton have more PMs than all the other top public schools put together?
