“Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it”

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@carolinejmolloy Corporate media predictably spewing stories designed to distract and divide people. If it were about truth and costs to taxpayers, then the papers would cover TAX AVOIDANCE by the wealthy and little else……until tax havens/City of London are closed down.

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@PEPForum @FT @Laura_K_Hughes Yes. The amount of whingeing from rich people about how a tiny piece of their power structure has been chipped off is frankly pathetic. If you don’t like it, then you shouldn’t sponsor 🇬🇧s biggest engine of inequality. Privilege really does make equality feel like oppression.

@IsabelPat1886 @PEPForum @OllyMetcalfe @ChildrensComm The private school system is one massive NCHI against 93% of 🇬🇧 children IMO.

@TStandfield1789 @RishiSunak @Conservatives All you need to know about Sunak is he went to a private school. His beliefs, politics and behaviours, including lying through his teeth, all stem from that very formative experience. That’s what his parents paid for, and that is all he is, or will ever be (it’s irreversible)

@RichardJMurphy “Donors”?

It’s legalised BRIBERY - call it what it is

@Row2501 @AbolishEton Not can’t, won’t

@PEPForum @pietersnep @Telegraph Suggest you stop using right wing rags to drive the narrative on this topic. Appreciate most of their readers will be dead soon, but all the same, more original thought pieces would be better.

@edlonguk @whittinghamrj1 @PEPForum @ObserverUK Really? Funny how that’s what they all say then 🤣🤣🤣

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@edlonguk @whittinghamrj1 @PEPForum @ObserverUK So HMRC, ISM and the national press all say that’s what will happen and you say it’s “nonsense”. Sounds to me like you are one talking nonsense, frankly.

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@edlonguk @whittinghamrj1 @PEPForum @ObserverUK Call it what you like, the result is the same https://t.co/i0LXQn8j6Y

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@edlonguk @whittinghamrj1 @PEPForum @ObserverUK I think you miss my point. If they will now be able to reclaim VAT on expenditure (backdated 10 years) which they previously couldn’t (correct?) then this is a win win for the super rich

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@PEPForum @ObserverUK Of course it does, but who cares if a bunch of richos suffer at the hands of even richer ones? What’s wrong with this loophole is that it widens the equality gap with “normal people” and uses public funds to do it. Why not start claims from now rather than the last 10 years?

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@whittinghamrj1 @PEPForum @ObserverUK If I understand it correctly, they couldn’t claim that VAT when posing as charities, so that is a NEW windfall of being VAT registered businesses. Like I said, there’s always a silver lining for the rich to keep them that way (or make them richer still)

@boardshark78 @RemainerVermin @audouin1b @ISC_schools And so those private schoolers bleating “we pay twice….deserve a refund” are the deluded ones, if you ask me.

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@boardshark78 @RemainerVermin @audouin1b @ISC_schools But it was spent on their child, dummy, that’s the point. Many private school teachers/staff were themselves taught by the state system. Same as the public roads leading private schools were built using taxpayer money. Much of your private school world is propped up by the state

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@Markmyword007 @PEPForum @EducationNotTax @Independent Fuck off you patronising cunt

[Crikey @Ohrillee]

@PEPForum @ellieapeake @helinkeri That’s what happens when all state schools are well funded, staffed with well trained, respected and motivated teachers who are trusted to do their job…..if you get the same wherever you are, it doesn’t matter where you go to school.
