But a school this old knows a few things about adapting to the times - so Eton is embarking on a campaign to offer more financial aid.

The Irish edition of the Sun, Britain's leading tabloid, called Ireland a pervert's paradise, and its rival the Mirror warned families to lock up their daughters. The government immediately appealed, and Parliament rushed to replace the defunct law, indeed to raise the age of consent for both genders to 17. Nevertheless, at a moment when much of Western Europe is scandalized over pedophilia, doubts now exist over the legal status...
