How to stop public school confidence hurting all and save Society

It is on the front page of the London Times today (Monday 01 Dec 2014)

Would the Times have the item on their front page (or anywhere at all in the Times)
if the source of the concern were from the general public?

The Times headline, it must be said, sums up the problem quite accurately

‘Public school confidence hurts society’

How to stop the hurts?

How to stop the public schools occupying the places they do?

How to stop the ever wealthier ‘oligarchs’ getting hold of the public school places

What Political Party is there that has the willingness to stop Society being hurt to destruction?

These and related questions must be explored urgently

There are severe psychological traumas infliced on these children not least is an early separation from the mother, a school atmosphere where social dominating behaviours are more than just tolerated and where the teaching teaches students how to be rulers. The symptoms are psycopathy or an inability to do empathy. These institutions produce enough psycopaths to populate the civil service FCO MOD etc, the banks and the global corporate aparatus.

It's a fucked up legacy of Empire and needs to be exposed for what it is - in many cases child abuse.
