Nice to see Q Letts pointing this out on Twitter today re C4's debate.
C4 took care to note Tory candidates' school backgrounds. And those of C4 presenters? Guru-Murthy, Snow and Newman all privately educated. Snow and Newman are children of public-school masters - Newman's dad having taught at J Hunt's Charterhouse.
Newman was a pupil at Charterhouse. Perhaps she knew Hunt there. Then on to LMH, Oxford. What school does she send her two kids too? Comp or fee paying?
People in glasshouses.
One for the Major. Why is it almost 50% of Sandhurst entrants went to public school? As Kipling wrote the Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under the skin but Rudyard wrote mainly about the other ranks.

That's no surprise as most but not all public schools have an ethos that is more in tune with military servive than do the schools in the state sector.
Next question?
It is really weird to criticize someone for having the same background as yourself.
Sadly their hatred of private school education didn't lead them to vote for Gerard Batten's UKIP!
