Are they extinct?
Just watching this from John Major:
We followed this with Tony Blair and David Cameron, both epic monuments to public school smuggery.
People say that it's because the grammar schools were abolished that we now have Nick Clegg (Westminster School) and David Cameron (Eton) running the country as compared to John Major (Rutlish Grammar School), Margaret Thatcher (Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School), Harold Wilson (Royds Hall Grammar School), Ted Heath (Chatham House Grammar School) - all ex-grammar-school students.
Of course some of the grammar schools are still there, but the places are substantially taken up by tutored children, or privately educated children.
