In fact you offer complete proof of the thesis that comprehensive
schools prduce unpleasant ruthless self seeking people with no real
sense of responsibility and that is precisely who has teh upper hand at

Grammar schools are all about good old British petty snobbery. I suppose you

No, Comprehensive schools are all about good old English inverted snobbery.
