    Poses himself as some anti-elite everyman, when in actual fact he went to a private school charging £6,000 a term

    Tw@t.

    I wouldn't say that makes anyone elite in itself. Children don't choose where they go to school.
    That said, as with most of us, his parents attitude to life religion and politics undoubtedly rubbed off on him as they do to a greater or lesser degree on all of us. Even if they rub off in a negative way.

    The point is going to a private school gives someone a huge advantage in life so they really can't paint themselves as an everyman.

    Private schools usually churn out people who go on to study "The Classics" and Ancient History, rather than anything productive. People mock media studies - but studying "The Classics" is just as pointless.

    The say a study in the classics helps with communication. After each of Johnson's addresses to the nation, we were all left asking for clarity.

    Cummings' study of ancient history clearly puts him at the forefront of decision making on a catastrophe that requires scientific understanding.

    They may be getting a huge advantage, but the country is usually at a huge disadvantage whenever a privately educated person becomes the leader that they were simply born to be.

    Not sure I'd agree studying 'The Classics' is pointless. Science, Art, History, Politics and Religion all have significant groundings in classical antiquity and Western culture owes a great deal to Ancient Greece and Rome. I've actually grown more interested in it the subject over time.

    Anyway, back to this **at Cummings.

    No one's saying anyone who goes to public school is like dominic cummings though, that's not the point at all.

    My best mate went to public school, no one is saying it's a negative just you can't really paint yourself as an everyman.
