From the guy who ran Conde Nast, the magazine publisher. Who worked there for 30 years. The place where my mag friends told me they were asked what their daddy did in the job interview. Where they were "schooled". But let's all keep scratching our heads about class and journalism https://t.co/eZ7gCKPCgm

I think I know seven people who to my knowledge went to Eton. Two are lovely, one's fine but deeply boring, and four are absolute cunts. (If you're reading this and you're one of those people, please assume you're in the first category.) https://t.co/TwYHcDLcu2

Of course this guy had his best year at 13 and finds it terrifying and difficult to speak to people outside those who have had the exact same experience of him that's literally what the school does https://t.co/3w1rtOCxFh

“The friendships I made at Eton provide the entire infrastructure for my life now”. Exactly what Suella Braverman was talking about when she warned us of the dangers of people in British towns and cities leading parallel lives. Or am I missing something? https://t.co/otfZNkfgUI

But remember, parents send their kids to private schools because they just want the best for them! https://t.co/LzKaFAEl3o

Sangita Myska reminded us that there are two sides to that coin.
If we are being completely candid, I do prefer the company of people who didn’t go to Eton and aren’t snobs to the company of Etonians who think like this and are https://t.co/zkCuRmcsl8
