Full marks for bare-faced cheek go to the country’s leading public schools who have rejected as “unworkable” attempts to make them prove their “public benefit” in order to retain charitable status. In responses to the Charity Commission’s proposals that poor students “must be able to benefit” from private schools Eton – annual fee for a boarder £26,490 – has delivered two fingers and a snooty riposte that the plan is based on “flawed reasoning”. Well, one doesn’t want all those oiks running round the playing fields.
