Completely deluded, who are you to have a right telling people not to send their children to private schools....

I have been against that private school policy from the start.
Not as ironic as Pritti Patel wanting to introduce an immigration policy that would have kept her parents and therefore by default herself out of the country.Just ironic isn't it how he wants to get rid of them

So was Margaret ThatcherMeh, not enough time for the ensuing eleventy billion pages
Bottom line is Keir Starmer was state educated
And policy decisions aside (and I appreciate that's a rather big but!) what I could admire about Thatcher was her determination to succeed, despite the deck being stacked against her. She did well for herself academically, and succeeded as a woman when it was difficult to do so.So was Margaret Thatcher

Of course she did marry into wealth, but that was after her academic career.
And this, of course, is irrelevant to the bizarre attempt to claim things about Keir Starmer's education which aren't true. With friends like those doing so, who needs enemies!
Which one? The one that would make Pritti Patel an illegal immigrant or the one that would mean Corbyn would have to have gone to a different high school?So you don't like the new policy being proposed??
A couple of examples neither prove, nor disprove. I'd suggest both Thatcher and Starmer would have succeeded in a fully comprehensive system too - the extreme cases aren't the ones to look at when judging if something works or not.Shows the benefit of the Grammar system doesn’t it?
As a small aside, it's interesting how the Conservative Party modernised itself with Thatcher breaking the rule of the grandees, continued in that vein with Major. Now, of course, it appears to have regressed to the 50s and 60s, and an era of privilege winning the day.
If they wanted to show themselves in touch with modern Britain, Javid would have been a far more palatable choice as leader. Somehow (somehow!) Johnson's teflon, but eventually it'll come back to bite him - it always does.

Not a chance. The reason we are seeing a move to private education for leaders is the comprehensive system which stifles such qualities and revels in mediocrity due to a sustained lack of funding caused by austerity
Exactly.
Then you ask me what I am trying to prove then mention Juncker for saying just what you have said.
Then you say it is me :smuggrin:
That's true, but he was to the left of Blair!Heath came from a very modest background
Remember when you went on a rant about me sticking up for Juncker, out of nowhere? Who knows. Maybe Juncker is martcov...
You're obviously evil because you're left leaning, and therefore have to be argued against on every point, whatever you're saying!You can read, right?
I see the Russia report won’t go away either. A Tory donor is demanding it’s release before the election.

Well they both seem to spend most of the time in a pub - you might be onto something

It's because you seem to want to lumnp private and grammar schools together but hey, you're also quoting yourself, so what do I knowYes...a Voluntary Aided School...a Grammar School...I already acknowledged that.
Are you just commenting because you feel I "have to be argued against on every point, whatever" I am saying!???

Nah, it was in the state system, it just gets/got extra funding from a Trust because somebody's left it some cash at some stage. That isn't really relevant to the fact it's not about paying fees - it was a state school, and it was his academic rigour that got him in there.There is a suggestion on wiki he went to a semi private school

As I said, I don't have the time for this argument, especially as you're over simplifying it in the interests of rhetoric...In a day when endeavour was encouraged not just from the upper classes - socialism hey? Everyone equal except the rich and the socialist politicians
