  Is it the ones privately educated that have the vice grip or is it that the ones that have the vice grip on the powerful UK jobs go/send their kids to private schools?

    It’s both. The networking with kids from private school and their parents is probably more valuable than the education that they receive.

    The sales pitch for private education. Is the connections and networking it provides.

    So while both are clearly true. It is very much a refusal to look beyond such educational connections. That reinforces the strong grip on power.
