The latter

Where is it being threatened?
What education is being removed?

Try actually shaking your head

Kieth claims this is the biggest economic crisis since ww2 then targets people trying to educate their kids

You don’t seem to be aware that private school perpetuates the class system.

The reason people send their children to private school is because it gives them access to an elitist Old Boys network.

Private schools are drivers of social segregation


This country needs the best people to do the best jobs, not people who get the best education and a posh accent doing the best jobs.

This country needs the best people to do the best jobs, not people who get the best education and a posh accent doing the best jobs.

There's a lot of thick under achieving kids who have been to private school.

When the ruling classes do not use public services

The rulers have little interest in their quality.

How long do you think David Cameron waits for a doctor's appointment?

Do you think Rees-Mogg is concerned about public transport?

Did Boris Johnson care about school meals for the children of the poor?
