Two of my sons were privately educated. 20 years or so later they aren’t constantly talking about it. Was Ampleforth that bad James?

James's nickname at his public school was PissyPants because he was bullied and used to wet himself whilst running away. Posh kids bullied him and it's affected him as an adult. It's why he thinks of himself as such a class warrior when in reality he's a little twerp that pisses his pants when confronted. Surely he's put that in one of his books?

The impact of you, James, attending a public school was that it turned you into a right dickhead. Ban them.

You can’t say Jacob Rees-Mogg isn’t intelligent. He might present his arguments in a quieter manner than you do, but constantly shouting into a mic isn’t always the answer.

How did Rayner get where she is today? She (& half the Labour party) are living proof that having zero education & no common sense or ability can reach the highest positions in UK (&then ruin the country) Then there's Jobby himself. His private education did him no good at all.

No one slides through life effortlessly ! Though I would recommend that British schools focus 70% of teaching on English literature and mathematics to a high standard, preferably until their students reach A-level grade C and above. The rest is commentary.

Because he has intelligence and and is articulate. Something you’re clearly jealous of Jim lad. That, and he schooled you entirely when he was on your feeble show last time. And made you look like the simpleton you clearly are. Does that answer your question?

Luckily I didn't have cold hearted unloving cruel parents that sent me to public boarding school at 10 so I can't really empathise with James and Jacob.

How? He wanted to get in there. The local association chose him and he stood. His father had been an MP. People still have to vote for you whether you are from boarding school or not.

It is not talent that got James O’Brien in that job, but also his public school education and network. Hypocrisy level 9

Hate the Carl Beech story. We gave his allegations against dead politicians a lot of coverage on the show & it turns out he was bullshitting everyone. But from Rotherham to Westminster to the BBC, telling abuse survivors that they'll be believed still seems the right thing to do.
