Old Etonian Shysters

Tony Little, former head of Eton said that the nation would have been “better served” if Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Jacob Rees Mogg had not all been educated at Eton College. They were giving Eton a bad name.

Here are some old Etonians:

Jonathan Anwyl, 44, was part of a scheme, believed to be the biggest direct tax fraud in British history, which convinced the rich and famous they could cut their tax bill by investing in "ethical" environmental projects.

Andrew Picard was spared jail after creating and sharing thousands of 'appalling' child abuse images.

The Honorable Thomas Cholmondeley (honourable indeed!) was imprisoned for manslaughter after shooting a poacher. The leniency of his punishment was a relief to his family, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The list goes on and on.

I fail to see how leading Conservatives can be ‘giving Eton a bad name’. When you consider how many shysters can name Eton as their alma mater. It is a bit like giving Wormwood Scrubs ‘a bad name’.
