There was a report in the papers last week that still 1/3 of our winter olympic team went to private schools. No mention that 2/3rds don't. However, and remember this is nothing to do with jealousy or anything like that, the government want changes made to reduce that 1/3rd even further. I'm not sure that introducing the luge as a sport to the youth of Brixton is going to make much difference though.
Then I was thinking, there is one sport where the government have done bugger all to try and open it up to the other class. Football. How many Premiership footballers went to private school? Why does the Government not do something about that?
It's 2010, and still the Labour party are hung up on "toffs" and the class war.

Isn't rugger the chosen sport of the private schools?
It is indeed. But that's not the point. The government supposedly wants inclusivity and that should extend to all groups.
