Not really. If my school produced murderers, we'd definitely know about it. It would be a big deal. Like certain notorious schools in inner city London.

There were some crazy nut cases in my comprehensive school in the north of England, but even they seemed to have eventually lived fairly decent lives.

Having been to university with a large number of old Etonians, I can tell you with some confidene that a significant proportion of them believe themselves to be above the law.




And sadly that belief is entirely rational and supported by the facts, the British legal system being designed with the overriding concern of protecting the aristocracy and Establishment.


I have never met an Etonian who wasn't an obnoxious, narcissistic, deprived, cretinous prig.

I'd love to meet one but I don't think they escape Eton unless such characteristics are deeply inculcated.


This is usually less true of the King's Scholars.


Can you name any of these notorious schools in inner city London.
