Just because you can afford to send your child to public school it doesn't mean that you have an issue with comprehensives. My daughter went to Independent schools both at primary and secondary level but my wife and I considered the State options. My wife was a teacher in the state sector ! Having considered the options we decided it would be in the interest of our daughter to educate her privately and we were in the fortunate financial position of being able to do so. Most certainly the state primary school we were offered never had the best of reputations. If parents have the necessary financial means then why should they not do what they feel is best for their offspring ? We all want the best for our sons/daughters and If I for example cannot afford something that another family can, then best of luck to them I say.
All well and good, but looking at the government, it hardly shows public schools help towards a meritocratic system does it?

You have that right and no one is taking it away from you. My point is that what interest and incentive does a Tory SoS have in an education system that he doesn't use.

I don't subscribe to the argument that any Health Secretary (Of any political persuasion) is not interested in his job for the prime reason that he or she doesn't avail of the service.

When one hears about "Quotas" in the Police Force and amongst football managers, and Gender equality etc etc, it appears as though "Meritocracy" has long departed never to return under any Government. But this is another argument.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

Absolutely ! Taking health as an example anybody who chooses to avail of private healthcare is not burdening the NHS and that person not only pays national taxes (Which funds the NHS the person is not using) but pays into a private healthcare scheme.
If the lefts get their way and the 70% tax rate comes in, these wealthy people who do so little to help the country will soon leave, along with many large international employers. Who wants a prosperous Britain after all.

Presumably then, you disapprove of Comrade Diane Abbott sending the Abbots-minor to a private school?
