@AbolishEton Not really. The rich still go there, or use those state schools that look like private schools in the catchments that only they can afford.

@XanadanX @OllyMetcalfe Were we expecting much by now?

3,000 movers. Which has been exceeded.

@MartinSLewis The significant difference between energy and water is customers get a choice between energy providers so they are incentivised to do better by competition.

We've no indications that a state-run energy provider would be more efficient than a private one in a competitive market.

@David__Osland Who said it would do so within which timeframe?

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@jackthurlow27 Is this the reality you made up, where schools have been overcharging parents by 20% (plus increased business council tax rates and employer NI) all along?

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@underaredflag Who's spouting drivel? VAT has nothing to do with charity status.

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@RichardBurgon It doesn't work. Why would it work for us?

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@AliArthPainter @Row2501 When it's disproportionate it is. When that harms kids it is.

There are more rich families using state schools with plenty of spare cash. Great state schools, not sink ones. Those families ARE subsidised by taxpayers.

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@AliArthPainter @NoEducationTax @Row2501 ...said as if the post you've replied to had no words.

The point is the state doesn't, and should be spending its time fixing that not distracting with a personal ideological policy that will do nothing to help.

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@AliArthPainter @PandoraJane1972 @Row2501 ...and this policy will do that how?

(Facts please, not old government sound bites)

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@AliArthPainter @Row2501 Wrong. You assume incorrectly. Plenty of private schools are cheap, or alternative, or religious, or focus on arts or sport, or provide necessary boarding...

Opportunities for those who can't afford fees are hit by this policy.

Many children cannot access great state schools.

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@AliArthPainter @chloembroidery Nothing about the education tax policy is going to make anything better for state schools.

They will include more children but that's not an improvement as there's no extra money/resources for that.

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@ToriVillar76624 @philshall @kelvmackenzie No, I'm being factual. If the mother is not married to the dad and the dad bought the ipads and the mother removed the ipads from his home then that is theft.

Of course it's down to the police to use reasonable judgement. But the mother lying to them didn't help.

@itto13bitty @Lol19559014 @daveatherton @SurreyPolice Well we keep complaining that they don't handle 'petty' thefts so they have some numbers to make up, this one with a middle aged teacher lady seemed a nicer job than smashing the door of a squat of lads with stolen laptops who might get lary.

Just a guess 🤷

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@MartynJohn50532 @reformparty_uk Yeah... also they probably have no idea such a service might exist. Same with benefits to make up for the winter fuel allowance change, they're just not applying.

Charging to help is an AH action... quietly make sure the neighbours know!

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@ToriVillar76624 @philshall @kelvmackenzie That would be a call for social services and I suspect the bar is way higher than 'lets them not do their homework'. It doesn't excuse theft.

Reporting it is indeed petty, and seems an odd one for the police to pick out of all the stolen/tracked devices they ignore.

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@itto13bitty @Lol19559014 @daveatherton @SurreyPolice From another article:

Who paid for them is crucial... I suspect if the mother paid it wouldn't have been raised.

Unless she's a fence this is indeed a martial drama.

Odd response, I know people have watched their stolen Macs whilst the police shrug.

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@philshall @ToriVillar76624 @kelvmackenzie Perhaps dad has parental account access and can see the locations.

If he bought them, and the ex took them from his house, technically it is theft.

We complain and complain about the police not taking crimes seriously and as the one time they do... 🙃

[Neil Mole @moley666]

@ExpatCayman @kelvmackenzie ...assuming ex... perhaps the dad bought the ipads and suspects the mother might never give them back? Or keep them at her house to lure the kids over?
