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.
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. Probably the same ability to do the job as a Labour's Vegan Farming Minister.
When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep. |

All well and good, but looking at the government, it hardly shows public schools help towards a meritocratic system does it?
Presumably then, you disapprove of Comrade Diane Abbott sending the Abbots-minor to a private school? They probably all did. Of course Harman etc have the right, wouldn't you, but it's sheer hypocrisy especially for the most Socialist incarnation of the party for decades. Although the worst thing is Abbott would've done so largely with the help of BBC money.

Politicians have been caned for not showing conviction in their beliefs. Now Corbyn is getting caned for doing the opposite. The press/British public are monumentally f*cktarded sometimes.

I cant wait for the opinion polls to be published. I have a feeling that Corblyme will do better than expected because of the novelty factor. It wouldnt suprise me given the contrariness of the British public. What also amazes me is the inability of the Lib Dems to kick a ball into an empty net. Clegg must be kicking himself that he resigned so quickly, I think if he was still there Labour would have been in worse trouble. I think I detect a bit of confusion among the Tories on how to handle Corbyn. Their accusations that he is the devil incarnate may not quite hit home with the public because they say that about all Labour leaders. He may be a more difficult target than people expect.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. |

Your last paragraph is nonsense. Conviction is one thing however being perceived as being disrespectful to Britain during a Battle of Britain commemoration ceremony is plain daft from a politician.
