@joenutt_author They don’t care about all children, just 93% of them

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@tedwrichards @SBarrettBar That makes it all ok then! What business model can sustain the increases independent schools have suffered? And yes, it has everything to do with ideology

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@Oscargetsit @implausibleblog That won’t apply to all schools. Regardless, 24% over a decade is very different to adding 20% overnight. Increases can be a result of many external factors - general inflation, minimum wage rises, pension contributions etc. Schools are not rolling in profit, far from it

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@implausibleblog Which is achieved by the higher/additional rate of income tax bands

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@implausibleblog I still can’t understand why it is the responsibility of independent school parents to pay even more towards the state system through VAT (immorally applied to education), when they already contributing via taxes and saving the government the cost of educating their children?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@JohnnyBalme @JamesHarvey76 @implausibleblog They do, which funds state education. And then they pay again + VAT

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@jjulieanderson @anaboultertv Tax is proportionate to earnings. We are all subsidising education through tax, though arguably those paying for private education are paying twice. Contributing but not assuming a place, and then clobbered with VAT on top. Sounds fair?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@PortsmouthSaint @RupertLowe10 I think you will find it is the opposite. Taxpaying parents are also funding state education

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@AlexJackso48722 @RupertLowe10 Can they? Would you be happy if someone suddenly added 20% on to your mortgage?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@springgreenzone @RupertLowe10 Education should be taxed?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@CJohnCC @anaboultertv On the basis it has been applied to EDUCATION and in a disproportionate way?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@CJohnCC @anaboultertv @bphillipsonMP Dodging tax how exactly?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@Nickstuart07 @anaboultertv The parents of children who go to independent school are ALSO ‘already taxed on what they pay on (tuition) fees’!

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@StufferSuitcase @TrapitJon @CSaltroad1 @GBNEWS @CamillaTominey I think you are forgetting they already do fund that system via tax?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@Karendu32435656 @KemiBadenoch Eventually they might realise it costs more than it makes - and then perform another U-turn! However the policy is not about revenue, is it?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@vickygrayson_ @bphillipsonMP Quite possibly - when they realise the policy will cost them more than they stand to gain!

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@Dave9876543 @vickygrayson_ Is all you seem to say?

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@likesretirement @miriam_cates Yet not one person mentions that!

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@bphillipsonMP Stop commenting on what others are saying and focus on what YOU are DOING!

[Kerry Wright @kerrywright1979]

@anaboultertv @bphillipsonMP @EducationNotTax Apologise and abolish the TAX on EDUCATION! We all know this wasn’t about raising revenue…the damage done after just 5 months could be irreversible
