@2D0XPS @aisiantonas @exceeding_love Less baptisms on Tv or in films

[harry @nimblehippo]

@PEPForum @IOE_London What about all the other criticisms? Not limited to, but including a) non fee financial support b) different fee levels across schools (% discount would be more appropriate c) the small data pool once you filter for private school and then receiving fee support

@Madz_Grant I did at least get the satisfaction of helping it get community noted.

@alexhrbfc @HuntersofPutney @CharlesHThyme The same tutors that the middle class parents of state school kids save their money for? While I’m not saying it’s perfect by any means, the ISEB pretest is designed to test innate intelligence. Would you favour bringing back grammar schools then but with better tests?

@alexhrbfc @HuntersofPutney @CharlesHThyme I speak as recipient of an academic scholarship 25 years ago (worth about £500 a year) but received bursary support from mcalpine for about £20,000 a year. I’ve taught Beckwith scholars + other transformational bursary recipients. System is far from perfect, but study was a joke

[harry @nimblehippo]

@alexhrbfc @HuntersofPutney @CharlesHThyme Because a family on a six figure income is not necessarily able to afford the fees. 35k a year (plus extras) is over a third of their post tax pay and that’s 1 child. They will clearly not be getting the same level of fee support as children from families earning far less.

@Elephantastick More flaws to consider 1) why look at fee discount in real terms rather than percentage of fees - day school and top boarding schools are not comparable 2) they don’t factor in non fee Support; trips/tuition/uniform etc? 3) small sample size once broken down - I could go on🤦‍♂️

@TheSpitfire Square leg ump can’t have been far away and he clearly wasn’t convinced

@PalmerLozza @NoContextCounty

@TheSpitfire Not convinced it’s a catch but not great quality

@draftinsight Went for short 🤦‍♂️

@NoContextCounty Joe Denly 💯 and hat-trick in same match

@2D0XPS Almost impossible to argue against Britain needing reform, but does it need Reform is a different question. Very clever slogan though.

@DonJuan202X @JPFinlayNBCS Not sure we want franchise, but appetite for games is huge

@FraserNelson They won’t get them from most greens/labour/libdem anyway
