I'll concede that point, I didn't realise the reduction in fees was so measly for that kings scholarship. Evidently it probably did make a difference who his parents are. However to say his education was warranted only because of his upbringing is pretty disingenuous.
How do you know who the Bullingdon Club accepts? Are you a member? Don't think so, such estimations are unfounded.
As for it being all about effort. It really makes no difference, he was granted multiple scholarships clearly due to his aptitude. My point still remains, that people who seek to discredit him as stupid are pissing in the wind.
