Your prejudice against grammar schools is based on your left wing ideology and dogma, not evidence.

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.

In fact It's a lie to state otherwise. In essence Corbyn regards the British state aboard as a byword for imperialism.

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.
Labour are too concerned with the interests of minorities for political gain and at the expense of the majority. They have betrayed their former supporters from the working class.
I have never lived through a Labour government which I thought improved the country.


Why would I want to vote for that?

A Labour government will not fix any of the current problems we are facing. They will almost certainly add to them.

Grammar schools are nothing to do with private education.
You get into one on merit.

We need to beef up comprehensives then. 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.

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
“Those terrorists will forever be reviled and held to account for their actions.”
Do you not agree?

Can you point to one thing in the Labour Manifesto that betrays the working class?

Yeah held to account by appeasing them.

You are airbrushing his comments of the past which he has not disowned.

No reduction in immigration.

No tackling of terrorism.....Which mainly affects the easy targets.

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.

I'm in favour of excellence in everything, including education. Grammar schools offer that opportunity to anyone, regardless of background. Holding back bright kids in sh*t comprehensives is just plain daft.

The best education systems in the world don't work like that. You are just repeating ideology.

Management of immigration are the words. 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.

So revealing that you find that boring.

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.

What ideology? It's common sense. 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.

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.
