Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Could represent the tory party and camp followers.

Although the latter seems as if they are already are in the wilderness.

Nice jobs if you can get them.....

Was Prince Harry`s Birth Cert ever available for public scrutiny?

Born with silver spoons in their mouths.

jealousy gets you nowhere ..... just as with those who decry eton and other top quality schools

It is not jealousy cynic, it is the corrupt system that comes from the top down that is the problem.

?????? what are you saying is corrupt?

if you are just joe soap and your son wants a job, joe may well contact one of his friends ........ it's just that you seem to have profound jealousy

i confess i wish i had the wherewithal to fund my grandchildrens' education at the best school possible that their talents will allow
i don't, but why should i be jealous of those who do?

are you also jealous of the teachers at top schools who, i am sure, get heavily discounted fees for their children?
if so, why?

time you got a life and accepted the cards you were dealt and made the most of them, instead of nurturing that big chip on your shoulder

Maybe below are what many are objecting to:

"Private schools to save £522m in tax thanks to charitable status"

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/jun/11/private-schools-tax-charitable-status-eton-dulwich-college

----====----

Also, the various "tax avoidance schemes" which are available to some "royalty".

Again, perhaps, the influence which is based on which bed they were conceived in rather than intrinsic ability.

many private schools are now saying that having charitable status just isn't worth the sweat .... but that is far from the point i was making

and your second allegation is, by and large, a load of bollocks, as are so many of yours



at the turn of the 20th century when you were young, it was indeed common practice to buy places at top schools, but this hasn't been the case for many a long year
to get into any of the top schools, you need academic ability or some other serious attribute, perhaps music
even then, if you can't cut the mustard, then you either won't last the course or it will be no fun at all
even having got through the system, it is far from any guarantee of a decent job, and indeed, many will hide their school i/d as there is now so much prejudice against them

Manuel,

Many schools are prepared to grab any silver they can lay their hands on. (I thought, from your postings, that would be what you would aspire to that behaviour.)

As per usual you seem to be thinking with your arse rather than using the remnants of a deteriorating senile brain you may still have.

Check your facts and ask yourself why many are sending their "offspring" and paying "large fees" to various "private" schools. (Dumping the responsibilities rather than bringing up their own produce. (In many cases that is to the benefit of their offspring and society.

try to learn some real facts fred ....yet again you talk absolutely crap

you haven't even taken on board the basic, that many private schools are not even boarding, or if so, not entirely

there are also many benefits in boarding, though it does not suit all children, so horses for courses
there are downsides too

i doubt you'll even be able to understand such simple matters, so i shall waste no more time on you

Manuel,

Rees Moggy, half the tory party and you belong in Greyfriars and you certainly appear to believe you are still there.

Matron is needed in No 10 dormitory!

Scrap private schools, let the state fully fund them.

Quote of the Day

Jacob Rees-Mogg on Number 10’s customs partnership:

“It’s completely cretinous… it’s a betrayal of good sense, I cannot understand why government is faffing around with this system. I’m on the same side as Mr Barnier on this, god bless him.”

Problem is that May listened to her advisors before she went to the Country, rather than her ministers and look where that got her - Seems shes still doing the same thing, needs to wake up to reality and put the boot in Barniers backside and kick them out of touch.

What is interesting is that they voted to exclude the Channel Islands from having a public register of company ownership: They kept the corruption and dressed the window by forcing others to be transparent. Corruption from the Top Down.

I want to start a petition, namely:

Tax relief for parents for school fee payments.

After all, they have already paid their taxes but not received any state education for their kids.

I also want to start another petition, namely:

Tax relief for private health care operation payments (eg. replacement hips and knees, etc.)

After all, these tax payers have already paid their taxes but haven't received the operations from the NHS for said hip and knee replacements, etc.

I also want to start another petition, namely:

NHS to start charging patients a 'nominal amount' for food, drink and other refreshments which are supplied to them whilst they are in hospital.

After all, they would have had to spend their own money on food, etc, if they had been at home instead of in hospital.
(Obviously, I would be expect to give certain patients relief from such payments).

I would like to start another petition, namely :

That the NHS are made to buck their ideas and actions up concerning the charging of immigrants, holiday visitors to the UK, and the like for NHS treatments supplied to non-UK tax-payers.

When I lose my hearing aid I am expected to pay £75 for a replacement and have to visit the hospital to do so so that my records show this payment has been made. It is therefore obvious that the NHS is capable of making charges to such patients/people and also able to take these payments and open and document pertinent digital files accordingly.

Good idea.

You will be able to afford a deeper dug grave.
