    I note that the present Government has been encouraging Universities to take into account student's social background when allocating places. i.e. allowing entry for those from a deprived background who have got lower A level results than others whose results, it is argued are due to private education etc.

    According to today's newspaper (the Telegraph page 4) up to one third of our Olympic athletes will have come from public school backgrounds.

    Surely we should be filling our Olympic teams with people from more modest background in spite of the fact that they can not, for example, run as fast as others whose training has been a result of privilege rather than raw talent?
