The new boy was deeply unhappy and found himself on the wrong end of a prefect's caning on a number of occasions. Under the system of 'fags' he was allocated to be the effective servant of a senior pupil Michael Gascoigne, who cannot recall ever having cause to beat Blair, but that is not how the Prime Minister remembers it. Eventually Blair grew so unhappy, and felt so powerless to change anything that he packed his bags and ran away from school.
