Joke this, if he can afford a private school currently but can’t afford it with the VAT increase put them in a comprehensive and get a private tutor to support them.

Sick of this shit about private v comprehensive, ALL kids should have the same fucking chance.

Talent wasted in this country due to cost is criminal.

The bigger question is that over the last decade fees have gone up @30% with no mass exodus and most of those parents still go skiing and to the Maldives so why would this change cause a meltdown? The parents can make sacrifices, work harder, work 2 jobs or get a paying job. Thats what they tell you to do if you can't afford premium label baked beans.

By passing the 11 plus as it was called then.
My Grandad was a Charge Hand Trade Union activist engineer at Carborundum in Trafford Park and my Gran was a Tory housewife ;-)
They were both of Irish descent and recognized the value of education.

I guessed so, so your ‘talent’ was noticed and then you were rewarded. You weren’t rewarded due to your parents finances which is where I get pissed off. So many talented kids must slip through the net, it’s criminal as I say.

Been in the game for years you learn from your elders and peers in this job.
Feeds and speeds.
Free hand tool making was on another level.

What concerned me was the enthusiastic clapping at stopping the boats.
