Talking to the BBC explains why the discrimination faced by old etonions is now gone now Cameron is PM.

"It is a sign, Dr Spence believes, that the Etonian label is no longer a handicap.

And present-day pupils, he says, are well aware of this.

"There's a renewed confidence that there is no reason that having been here, we should suffer thereby.

"We can do what we want to do in life. Etonians are back on the scene."

Maybe I missed it but I don't recall anti-Etonian discrimination being up there alongside the other fights for injustice ...

It really is awful that these people have suffered so. Shame on us! Shame on all of us for allowing this to happen.

Gawd!!! I can't believe it's not the Mash...laughable.

From the article in question http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8622933.stm a quote from Nick Fraser, author of the book The Importance of Being Eton - "Boys elect each other to positions of influence. So from a very early age, you become adept at being charming, buying votes, being smarmy."

Smarmy.. Nice word. Thinking of anyone in particular?

[Brendan]

Fuck, school is unpleasant enough as it is without having to deal with that sort of crap.

[KidKruger]

It's the one area of discrimination I feel comfortable with TBH.

"There's a renewed confidence that there is no reason that having been here, we should suffer thereby.

Does that even make sense?

"We can do what we want to do in life. Etonians are back on the scene."

Stamp on some lesser mortals, who's going to stop us!
