Who do you consider rich?

I think Johnson got a scholarship to Eton. I don’t think he’s particularly well off.

He was a Kings Scholar, which is full fee paying. Both his brothers also went to Eton. I don’t think families who aren’t particularly well off tend to send three sons to Eton?

annsixty, we consider 'rich' those who have a lot more money than we do! If we really don't need the money, we should just give it to charity.

The trouble with any scholarship at an independent school it that it doesn't stop there with all the added extras.

That’s true, and also, when my daughter was offered a scholarship, it’s continuation was dependent on her achieving a certain level each year. We decided it would put too much pressure on her, because we couldn’t afford to keep her there if she had a blip year.

Oh, my heart bleeds.

Oh, my heart bleeds. ???? hGave you got a picture of that?

What's that meant to mean?

You are definitely rich if you have enough money to donate to a political party and then by pass the democratic system by getting what you want.
