Private schools are primarily about parents choosing who their kids grow up with (or more importantly who they don't) and the social circles they move into - which is why a) that firebrand of the left and dodgy wig-wearing Diane Abbott can go fuck herself repeatedly and b) there are so many dim chinless wonders running things. Private schools excel in convincing really stupid posh kids that they're bright. Grammar schools are just an extension of this and should be fucking burned down. Private school bursaries are just a sop to charitable status.
And don't just blame the Tories for this "hard working families" bullshit - Labour have been using it just as enthusiastically since they decided "working class" was too hot to handle...
