Different Class: A proles' guide to the elite private schools that churn out our leaders – with Andrew Harrison and Robert Verkaik

Private schools have been responsible for educating a broad spread of political leaders. What’s going on in this weird world of elite education? To make sense of public schools and their staggering influence within the UK government and beyond, Andrew Harrison talks to Robert Verkaik, author of Posh Boys: How English Public Schools Ruin Britain, in The Bunker.  • “It’s bizarre when you think that one school can be as influential in the running of the government as Eton has.” – Robert Verkaik  • “These schools' sole purpose is to advance the life chances of children who are already incredibly privileged… which ultimately undermines our democracy.” – Robert Verkaik  Posh Boys: How English Public Schools Ruin Britain: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/13277/9781786076120 www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.
