On a related note...it is interseting that those that think the role of the state is to tell us plebs what to do, don't apply this to their own. If we put a list of all the Labour MPs past ane present who either directly sent their kids through Private Education or bent the system to not put their kids to their local state school we'd be hear until next year.... just recently, the awful (sorry James) Dianne Abbot - kids privately educated Tony Blair - Kids wangled into some high performing state school miles (11 I think) from his local 'comp' and....our potential PM, Milliband, bought up in Hampstead with his house full of lefties Benn, his grandad (famous marxist historian) etc and.....wait for this......gets into Oxford with shite A'levels on a scheme aimed at poor inner city kids.. They make me puke with their hypocracy
