Surprised at the stupidity of Boris Johnson and his Cabinet?
Well, you will be astonished at how much it cost to educate them.
Of 32 Cabinet members, 17 went to private schools, many of them elite institutions such as Eton, where fees top £40,000.
At current rates, the fees, from age 11, would be £2.5million.
Holly Rigby, of Labour Against Private Schools, said: “ Boris Johnson ’s Cabinet is one of the poshest in recent history,.
“It’s clear that the millions spent on education hasn’t made them fit to lead the country.”
She said state school students were “statistically” unlikely to ever lead the country as “power is hoarded by a privileged elite”.
Hopefully, these dunces will soon be expelled from office.
