Must have been bad if you didn't learn about the biggest spy ring in British history. I'm against grammar schools as well. The private education system in general. I recognise that it can't just be abolished easily though. The public system has to be able to cope with the numbers first but as a long term aim I would definitely not have grammar schools.

At the moment is is a bit like the old grammar schools and secondary moderns. Comprehensives in better areas, with better off parents, provide a better education than those in poorer areas. At least you had a chance of a good education in a grammar school if you were bright enough to get there.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

He has said that. He's written about it in the past. In fact It's a lie to state otherwise. In essence Corbyn regards the British state aboard as a byword for imperialism. What he actually said about what causes terrorism was that it “in no way reduces the guilt of those who attack our children,” he said

Despite what TUX says,I a not a Tory boy. I voted UKIP last time. I just loathe the hypocrisy of Socialism and would not vote for a party with such a low calibre of MP's in any case. They are in a total mess and are making it easy for an average Tory Party.
A Labour government will not fix any of the current problems we are facing. They will almost certainly add to them. Can you point to one thing in the Labour Manifesto that betrays the working class?

Grammar schools are nothing to do with private education. Na mate, it's biased towards those who have the resources to ensure their kids get into it. That's what the history of them shows.

Grammar schools offer that opportunity to anyone, regardless of background. Holding back bright kids in sh*t comprehensives is just plain daft.

We need to train up Brits before we can reduce immigration figures. If we reduce immigration and leave a skills shortage, it won't do us any good. No tackling of terrorism? Do go on.

Corbyn has nothing but appeasement to offer the British people in tackling a continuing and increasing Islamic terror problem. He can't even bring himself to call it what it is. The Tories are half way to pathetic but the far left are much worse.

Picking off the brightest of each generation and educating them to the highest possible standard is one of the best investments in its future the state can make. Just look at the piss-awful standards of literacy and numeracy all around you, standards which have fallen dramatically since comprehensive education came into being.

No tackling of terrorism? Do go on. Utter nonsense. With no reduction in immigration British children from working class backgrounds will just find competition for jobs harder and harder. I've seen this in teaching and with respect I think it's a disservice not to recognise it. The only skills shortage is the skills shortage that has been deliberately caused to create the space for a cheaper workforce from aboard. Labour are the party that actually caused the problem in the first place in the nineties. Labour would do feck all about prioritizing British workers to do jobs first..It's a sop to the easily fooled..It goes against their egalitarian and internationalist beliefs.
