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.

All well and good, but looking at the government, it hardly shows public schools help towards a meritocratic system does it?


Edited by nickgusset (15 Sep 2015 6.11pm)

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.

Lot's of people will after they've been brainwashed by the media's screaming headlines.

It seems to be fashionable to disrespect Britain and it's traditions. That bothers a lot of people. Particularly when the leader of the opposition is not singing the anthem at a ceremony to commemorate the Battle of Britain, the impression is that he is disrespecting Britain. They may not be the case but it is the impression.

I wonder if he is any good at football, he could join the England line up during the anthems.

I never sing the National Anthem but I'm very proud to be British for lots of different reasons. I don't believe in God and I don't believe the Queen holds any relevance, and nor does Corbyn apparently.

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.

Agreed. Forcing someone to sing a song they don't believe in isn't very British.

I think Cameron's challenge at PMQs this afternoon is to make Corbyn look good. The better he makes him look, the more likely he is to stay in his job.

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.
