@annaturley Can you explain who exactly paid for that scholarship opportunity? I'm guessing, it was the fee paying parents of your classmates. Now, because of your heinous policy, those scholarships will be reduced. But as long as you're OK.....
Andrew. Andrew.
Sending your child to private school is not charitable, you say. How fascinating. Particularly from a man who attended Altrincham Grammar. A selective school that excluded children whose parents could not game the catchment area or tutor the entrance exam.
You did not pay fees, Andrew. You paid tutors. You paid rent in the right postcode. You paid for exclusion dressed up as meritocracy. Now you lecture parents who, unlike you, are honest about paying for education rather than manipulating the system to pretend they are not.
The parent paying twenty five thousand pounds a year for a dyslexic child because the state system you run has a three year waiting list for assessment. They are not charitable, you declare. They are just selfish. While you, the man who never created a job, never built a business, went from university straight to the union machine. You are the arbiter of virtue.
Here is what is charitable, Andrew. Paying taxes for a state system you do not use, then paying private fees because that system failed your child. That is not one act of charity. It is two. And you are taxing the second to pay for the first. Which you already broke.
But you would not understand that, would you? You have never paid for either. The system simply carried you from council house to Commons. No invoice required.
Now then. Sit down. The adults are speaking. And Andrew. Do try to keep up. This is grown up talk. You might learn something if you listen very carefully.
@AlastairMorgan I have a feeling the pressure are keeping their powder dry for now on Nigel Farage, Boris barely received any good press once covid had started and was hounded equally as much as Kier Startmer is currently and both times they are justified.
@DeborahMeaden We import the panels from China on diesel powered ships, then as we have no farmland left now import grains and food using diesel powered vehicles. How is that clean?
@UTDAlex8 Ryan Giggs won 60 something caps for Wales in a 15+ year career, he was always withdrawing through injury. Wales played 160 matches in that time. What is the difference now?
@thehealthb0t@BillGates you could always give up ypu luxury yacht and private planes if you really want to make a contribution to carbon reduction rather than trying to convince us all that you are making this rubbish for us
