Eton College boys ‘booed’ visiting state schoolgirls

  1. >Eton College has apologised after it was claimed girls visiting from a nearby state school were subjected to misogynistic language and racial slurs.
    The school told the BBC a number of its pupils had been “sanctioned” after an investigation following an incident during a speech by Nigel Farage.
    The former politician told the BBC the atmosphere was “riotous”.

    That’s your future leaders and captains of industry there. Instilled into them that they are better bred and that their place is to subjugate those less well off and less well connected than themselves.

  2. My five year old loves the Pixar film Inside Out at the moment. It’s a great film for trying to teach kids about their feelings. In a post credit scene a young boy meets the protagonist young girl and after she says hello the little people in his head start running around screaming and sobbing incoherently whilst a klaxon goes off in the background accompanied by the ominous warning “GIRL! GIRL! GIRL!” on a loop. The kid just stares at her whilst his gob catches flies. Dunno why this story brings that to my mind.

    Rather less charitably, privileged, pubescent little tossers whose parents don’t like them very much in inability to grasp the very concept of how to communicate with the opposite sex shocker.

  3. It’s almost like dividing children based on class and gender causes an us vs them mentality and results in idiots who don’t know how to interact with people from outside their limited bubble.

    I know that private schools will always be a thing, but we really should ban single gender schools all together. Nothing good can come from raising kids that can’t interact with 50% of the population.

  4. Fuck the jam will be writing a new song. Don’t know if “put down your phone and collect your vapes” has quite the same ring to it though.

  5. I went to a state comprehensive very close to Eton and we played rugby against them once a season. They were arseholes to us too, they stood on the sidelines jeering at us, rather than cheering on their players. I can’t remember the specific chants but it was along the lines of calling us peasants. The irony being (for me at least) that I had been at a private prep school with a few of the guys playing for Eton 2-3 years earlier. We all just stood back silently glaring at them, arms folded, with our headmaster. Felt quite proud we didn’t stoop to their level. Completely out classed them socially…but sadly not on the pitch.

  6. I studied at Winchester for 3 years and I can tell you the level of casual bigotry that was going on there was insane. Fuck those places. I try not to mention I was there nowadays irl because I’m so ashamed of it.

  7. Wait, is Eton an all boys school? That’s the only thing worse than a school full of posh tory wankers. An all boys school full of posh tory wankers.

  8. Eton needs bulldozing or set alight. Absolute madness that a school like that can exist in 2022, pissing out toffs and continuing the class divide.

  9. This headline is so weird. Why not say “Eton college apologises for their pupils shouting sexist and racist abuse at girls”? The headline doesn’t match the content.

  10. When your school is inviting Nigel Farage to speak, it’s really downhill from there. We should never allow those who believe themselves elite and a cut above because of the school they went to back into government. Eton churns out a special breed of delusional Sociopath with delusions of grandeur. They immediately set about getting people to believe there’s a race war rather than a class one. It’s worked for so long, it’s an ethos set in stone.

  11. Hot take: Universities should be restricted in how many privately educated students can go, and the civil service should not hire them entirely.

    Why shouldn’t the state favour those who went to its schools?

  12. Abolish private schools, enforce that all UK children must go to a UK public state school up to the age of 16.

    Once we get the rich kids mixing in with the rest of the population, they’ll start making friends and hopefully we’ll have a generation of privileged people that empathise with the general public.

  13. Shut the fucker down.

    This is enough.

    Do we want to live in a society where we’re kind, and decisions are made with the best possible outcomes for most people, where those who suffer from disabilities aren’t bullied by a complex system, where the older generations aren’t persuaded to hate the young and vice versa, where anyone xan be supported through their education without fear of financial reprisals?

    Enough is enough. Eton needs to be shut down, the monarchy: shut down, wealth hoarding: shut down.

    Fuck anyone who disagrees, I don’t care anymore. Do you even want to help make the world a better place for everyone? If not, fuck off.

  14. Eton should also be apologising for giving Nigel Farage a speaking invitation. Fuck him and fuck them. They’ve sanctioned the students but invite Farage. Fuck them.

  15. Of course they did, because they’re already sociopathic entitled privileged little shits just like Eton trained them to be.

  16. 1. Disgusting behaviour towards to girls.
    2. Why the fuck was Farage invited?!

    They’re a longstanding public school. I assume they have a few canes still lying around. Fucking use them on the utter scrotes!

  17. If I’m that rich, i will never ever gonna get my kids into that school no matter how much money I have. don’t want them to grow up and became one of those knobs

  18. I know a private school, won’t name it but it’s in the midlands. It has a public walkway going through it and I kid you not, when people walked on that road the kids used to approach them and start pointing and shouting “chavs” at them, and not one or two kids but like 15+ kids (conservative estimate) at a time, like they’d run from a distance to confront them. On the regular. Should be stamped out, but probably the teachers don’t think it’s that big a deal, so don’t bother addressing it any more than normal misbehaviour. This is like a decade ago, but I doubt it’s changed.

  19. Sanction Eaton by removing its ‘charitable’ status – and from all the other fee-paying schools.
