I'm not sure if this thread is very shir or very clever but its given me a chance to ask something I've been wondering as I'm sure other people outside of Britain have
What exactly is a 'public' school. It's obviously not what the name implies but I didn't know there were also a category of 'private' schools. I presumed public meant private but obviously its more complex than that.

ha!
No-one really knows mate.
The division between public and private is basically historical, and seems to be to do with the schools historically used by the aristocracy. The new kids on the block were "private" in the same way that "red-brick" ui's referred to newer unis as Polytechnics or "ex-polys".

Originally Public Schools were just that schools for the general public set up to educate them - but they were gradually stolen from us by various means - see here
"Let us begin with the story of what the historian Brian Simon once described as "probably the biggest hijack of public resources in history". This was plotted 131 years ago when the government's schools inquiry commission declared that there was no reason to encourage "indiscriminate gratuituous instruction", an idea that they compared in its mischief to the indiscriminate donation of alms to beggars. They proposed an ingenious reform, which was rapidly adopted by parliament.
They would seize the schools that then provided a free education for the poor in many towns and (ignoring the statutes that had established them) they would abolish them, and then (defying the lawful wishes of their benefactors), they would take over the endowments that had been left over the years to fund them and use the money to set up schools not for the poor but " for the extension of middle-class education". This was a bold idea, for which the commissioners received much credit, but, in truth, it was not an original one."
Private ones were just ones that were set up privately from the get go.

Years ago I went to a One-Tree-Island ( Manchester sound sytem ) do in Morecambe and it was full of crusties. Most of them were from Hulme though.
The England First party stood in Morecambe last year or the year before I think but perhaps they weren't after the votes of unwashed veg growers.

Actually I agree with this - and it applies everywhere, not just in Morecambe.
I'm not just sniping at anarchists either. The fact is that for all but a negligible number of working class people -and middle class people for that matter-anarchism is unheard of.
The only group that the odd one or two working class people have ever heard of is, maybe, Class War and that's mostly for juvenile graffiti making a mess of the occasional wall somewhere. They probably don't associate them with anything called anarchism either.
This fact has a bearing on the subjects of several other threads on this forum, not least the one about Nick Griffin standing in Keighley. There are anarchists who claim that they do all kinds of things to make a difference but they remain completely invisible to the population at large-and seem content to remain so. No working class person will ever know about what they do because they don't publicise it.

And the IWCA is known to...how many working class people ( outside one or two localities)?

You are pathetic and you do what excatly to justify your venting of shite. That goes not only for anarchism but socailism. Most working class people laugh at socialist groups and think they are worthless.
I have spent years publicisng events and doing community based projects and i dont shout at everyone that im an anarchist because that is childish and pathetic. Its insulting that you have such limited intellect that you make such broad worthless statements.
charlie mowbray said:
dont even bother mate LLETSA gives any organisation a bad name this wanker puts me off the IWCA but i do know decent ones so i wont stoop to his level and make broad assumptions based on arse flakes.
Using ignore is always a possibility.
And anarchists do 
And anarchists do

You are even more defensive than the Leninists on here.
Like Charlie Mowbray's, your point is irrelevant to the one I was making.
If you don't tell people that you are an anarchist, how do you expect to win them to your ideas? That's a perfectly valid question, isn't it? I made it clear that I wasn't sniping at anybody when I made it. I thought that one of the purposes of a board like this was to question those who claim to have the answers.
The point about Keighley-or anywhere else where the BNP stands- is that there is a danger that the people who are considering voting for the BNP will conclude that there is no alternative apart from the mainstream parties when the opposition remains either invisible or largely counter-productive like UAF etc.
Just for example LLETSA why dont you check out this
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/leedsbradford/
and see what we have being doing in leeds before you start drivilling excess arse fluid.
Yes we also flyer in communities, trade unions and local groups as well as talking to people of all classes.
