Yes Times letter.
The background: double page spread on Eton the previous day, with the current principal trumpeting his schools advantages. Fees £46 000 / y. " far beyond most of the population"
"This school would have closed years ago if it stuck to 1446 principles"
Eton's Failure
John Claughton Master Eton 1984-2001 writes. Dear Sir
Whatever wider strategy Eton adopts, the school itself will continue to educate the global elite or those who will become the global elite. ("If we had stayed the same since 1440, tEton would have closed years ago" article Jun10). Perhaps its most imortant mission is to ensure that its pupils are saved from the sense of privilege, entitlement and omniscience that can produce such alumni as Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg Kwasi Kwarteng and ben Elliott and thereby damage a country's very fabric. Sadly I failed in that purpose.
