Come on Sinkov you should know by now that labour is for the many not the few.Quote:

I assumed they didn't army, it would be the height of hypocrisy if they did wouldn't it. So I was shocked to discover this morning that Jeremy Corbyn himself had a priviledged education, at a Prep School and a private Grammar School, perhaps the other pupils took the piss out of him, which is why he dislikes Tories. But Corbyn is not the only Labour hypocrite, his mate Suemas Milne also has an aversion to bog standard comprehensives, he shunned his local one and sent his children to grammars, Dianne Abbott, sent her son to City of London School, £19K a year, not that daft after all is she, Valerie Vaz sent her daughter to Latymer Upper School, £21K a year, it's probably easier to list the Labour politicians that don't ensure their kids are kept out of the state system.Quote:

Boris has just promised 40 new NHS hospitals. Perhaps he has at last found Corbyn's money tree?Quote:

I suppose it wouldn’t do if we we’re all the same Sinkov but agreed it’s sad when they can’t see wood for the trees.Quote:

My contempt for any Labour MP who privately educates their children knows no bounds.
Practice what you preach is my motto.
I agree BT and you probably do and tbh I’d believe you as well.Quote:

It’s like I said to you before you’d be lucky to split conservative and labour parties, they are becoming alike.

This is a serious matter army88. Pierre Bourdieu the world renowned French sociologist calls this tendency to reproduce the established order (eg. Your grandfather went to Eton, I went to Eton, you will go to Eton) the retention of "cultural capital".Quote:

I have nothing against people educating their children BT in any way shape or form regardless of political party.Quote:

You can’t have a state where all are the same ( that’s a different political issue entirely)
I think Sinkov and my point was only that you intimated re privileged people and their social standing and how wrong it was when you’re leader was educated privately along with many others in the Labour Party and their children.
There isn’t an answer to what your suggesting because there will always be a social standing , I think your point re how many ladles to a individual points to equality for all and not just some but what will you do tax the rich more to sort it ?
It doesn’t work all you end up doing is forcing people who we definitely need away form our country.
I’ve alluded to it before there is only one pot of money and it isn’t big enough to do everything that’s for sure.
I was on holiday in Majorca a couple of years ago BT, it was September, we always go during school term to avoid other people's brats ruining the peace and tranquility we search for, so I was a bit disconcerted to find two young girls cavorting in the pool of our expensive hotel. I asked their parents how they had got them off school and was told they didn't go to school, they were educated at home by their mum. Of course this is fine if you can afford to do it, but not many can, does Labour propose to ban this and force every parent to send their child to a state school ? Imo, it's not the business of government to tell parents how and where their children will be educated, and if Labour propose that it's they who decide where your child will be educated, even to the extent of banning home education and forcing parents to send their children to a bog standard comprehensive, then I and millions of others would seriously have to consider voting Tory.Quote:
