Does a public school education lead to a better quality of Prime Minister?

Although I cannot answer this definitively, I did once meet David Cameron, at a garden party held by News International, publishers of The Times. Chatting with fellow Times’ columnist Giles Coren next to a table bearing cheeses – “Always set up camp next to the cheeses,” Giles said, wisely – we noted that David Cameron had noticed us, and was drawing near for a chat. “Oh, I do so enjoy YOUR writing,” Cameron said to Giles – planting himself between me and Coren Jnr, with his back towards me.

I was amazed. I thought the whole point of posh people was that part of their incredibly expensive private education was to behave graciously toward red-faced Hogarthian peasants such as myself. It seemed not. £100,000 at Eton and he was still a rude asshat. Still - little I cared. With Giles now otherwise occupied in talk of property prices in Ladbroke Grove, I had a full run on the cheese table, and subsequently managed to decant half a Reblochon into my handbag before ordering a taxi.
