Nothing wrong with doing the best for your kids ted, just ask boris and his eton pals, just because you are working class doesn"t mean you cant go to the best school if you can afford it, but im not sticking up for them anyway, was just pointing out JC isn"t corrupt or corruptable, one of a rare breed. But I am enjoying watching our great leader of men boris giving sound , clear advice to the country, sticking to his guns, not u turning every time a celebrity pops up with a new idea, not that i mind boris to be fair, but im sure anyone who bought in to his manifesto is choking on their cornflakes every morning!

I don’t like uniformed idiots who speak without knowing what they’re talking about. Really well you would know all about 'uninformed idiots' wouldn't you?

I entirely agree. I’d have rather not gone to the sh1t pit that was my only option but they are politicians who decry the system and deny others the opportunity whilst exploiting it for their own kids.

I dont know why people bang on about posh boys from Eton so much. Corbyn was raised in a manor house. He went to a private primary school then got into the local grammar, dropped out of Polytechnic, has never held down a job (nor has his brother) so went into politics. He's just a trust fund baby playing at Marxism. Or potentially facist. More facist than Trump. According to experts Trump isn't facist because: He doesn't want to overthrow the existing democratic system. He doesn't want to scrap the Constitution. He doesn't romanticize violence itself as a vital cleansing agent of society. Corbyn ticks all the boxes the trump hasn't.

Jeremys parents obviously agree with my post as well then, nothing wrong with sending kids to the best school whoeverthey are, but that shouldnt wedge you in to all the top jobs in the country, cameron, osborne and boris to name 3 of a kind, im sure other people from other great schools could fit in, but the system favours certain types of school, eton being the major player! To repeat; there’s nothing wrong with it except when you represent a political party who insist comprehensive schools are good enough for everyone else then don’t send your own children to one. That’s like denouncing racism whilst excusing anti-Semitism but then who’d do that?

I dont believe Jeremy was anti Jewish at all, he just rightly made the connection that Israel was stealing the arabs land unlawfully, so had an anti Israel stance, but not anti semite, who knew?

Becaus Starmer is never going to be forgiven by the Left for this. If he does not actively seek to drive them out now, he will be constantly looking over this shoulder. They are turning on each other faster than the CONS in the north on boris, it should be interesting.

But we will see. Problem for the Left is what do they actually do? If they split away and stand against Labour, they don't actually have any impact other than enusring the Tories a bigger majority next time around. And if the Unions pull the funding then once again, they just help the Tories. If they are clever they will remain within the Labour Party. Bide their time. Question then is if Starmer lets them? Still a lot of Corbyn supporters at a local level and they can cause probably more problems from inside than out. I suspect Starmer might have over-played his hand. Question is if the Left respond by over-playing theirs.

Its gets kids there because they the cream off the best talent at the 11+ then they flog them to death with work and homework in an intensely competitive environment. States schools would never get away with it. Most of the time they a day care centres having to constantly adjust to political medalling. Then from what I know of Oxbridge, the workload at those universities is horrific. Its why they are number 3 and 4 in the world. Some credit must go to the kids for going through it. It's not just parents buying a pass straight through to government. We are lucky to have some of the world's best educational establishments in this country. Some on the left would crush it out of envy. The current crop of Cameron/Boris grew up in an age of non-competitive sports days at state school. Its a shame there's no system to push talented kids who's parents can't afford it.
