Toffs branded as 'twits' over chav hunt vid
Pupils at a £22,500-a-year boarding school have been accused of arrogance after posting a video of themselves enjoying a mock "chav hunt".
A YouTube video shows students at Glenalmond College in Perthshire on horseback chasing youths clad in tracksuits and trainers and Burberry caps.
Victims are picked off by a shotgun as they run across a field, before one of the "dead" chavs is prodded by a smug-looking aristocrat.
In another scene, a cap-wearing chav is hauled from a river like a salmon while his hunter pretends to thrash him with a rod.
Pupils at the school, which boasts actor Robbie Coltrane and the Duke of Argyll among its old boys, were branded as "twits" by SNP MSP Roseanna Cunningham, SNP MSP.
She said: "I suppose this video could be billed as the revenge of Monty Python's upper class twits. Doubtless it is intended as humour and irony but it comes across as brash, crass and arrogant."
