Funnily enough me and YoungAdults #1 & #2 were discussing just this over dinner.
#2 being as largely unaware of there real world as ever asked if I had ever visited the pharmacy on match days….ffs

That’s Stroud School, by the way. 
Not Winchester then?
Winchester College fees are currently
A bit above what the average person could stump up.

Wherever he went, his parents will have paid for it on a doctor’s salary.
Course they did.

How would you think it was funded then?
He’s still a cunt.

I guess the question would be how much disposable income from the GP and Pharmacy did the M&D have back in the day after other family costs. Clearly enough, unless they had access to other funding. I’ve no idea either way.
Back when my two would have needed to be funded for similar I wouldn’t have been able to pay those fees.
Without wishing to stereotype, Indians do seem generally to put a very high value indeed on their sons’ education. I know nothing about his family, but could imagine they might borrow money to fund it in the same way we might borrow money for a house.
Why, specifically?
Probably there’s some truth in that. If we all became immigrants then I don’t doubt most of us would do what it takes to succeed in the new adopted country. Helps if the parents come from the professional classes in the first place though.

I can’t claim to be an expert on the economics of running a pharmacy but Isn’t owning and potentially employing a staff of pharmacists a bit different income wise than being a simple pharmacist?
With regards to his father. A member of my family used to work nights driving a GP called Dr Sunak around Southampton for a number of years around about the time Rishi would have been heading off to Winchester. Can’t guarantee its the same guy but could be indicative of someone working all the hours possible to give his kid opportunities.

25 to 30 years ago I was on the periphery of a deal to sell a pharmacy in Hamble
Back then the licences were strictly controlled effectively giving a local monopoly to the holder
I am pretty sure it changed hands for £600k
Since then with the advent of Lloyds and the supermarkets it is not such a sure thing

Well tonight he tells us that he thinks Liz Truss is a socialist. That will do for starters.

Thank you all for following all this and coming up with all these very wise observations and opinions.
It does mean that I don’t have to read any of the stories about the traitorous bunch of lying, thieving incompetent wankers, and I can just agree with everything horrible and insulting you all say about them.
Are you being sarcastic? 
Oh no! Mean every word.
His backing of the worst PM in history? Lying about no. 10 parties? The hypocrisy of his family tax affairs? The fact that he is a Tory?
And he looks like an Asian Tim, nice but dim.
