During its 14 years in power, the UK’s Conservative Party had such a strong grip on technology that it demanded Apple add security features it already had. When he was Prime Minister, Boris Johnson claimed that no country in the world had got Apple and Google’s COVID app to work, while the rest of Europe carried on with their successful ones.
Johnson was educated at Eton, as were 19 other former UK prime ministers. It’s a boarding school for boys — never girls — aged 13 and up, and currently costs around $21,330 per term, or $63,990 per year to attend.
