Jeremy Corbyn

Man of principles the public can trust.

Much better than preaching how great state schools are but sending kids to private edukation.

So if your local comp was a failing school and you had a choice to send the child elsewhere then presumably "out of principle" you would send them to the local comp

Sending them elsewhere does not automatically mean private. There are other options for getting kids into a "good" school.

Mr Corbyn, speaking about the split for the first time since making it onto the Labour leadership ballot paper this week, admitted that he felt 'very strongly about comprehensive education' and could not agree to send his son to a grammar.
The issue came to a head in 1999 when couple's son Ben was only offered a place at a comprehensive which had been placed on a list of failing schools.
His then wife, the left-wing Chilean campaigner Claudia Bracchitta, refused to let the then 11-year-old pay the price for his father's political beliefs and decided to send him to a grammar school nine-miles away from their home on the outskirts of London.

in other words this great man of "principle" believes that everyone should take whatever the state dishes out.

Well good luck to him, I hope he wins. It will give the Establishment a fright if he does.

It all feels a bit revolutionary. [emoji48]

I agree Kojack, it almost certainly feels quite revolutionary and very exciting ! This could transform Britain. Through the Blair and Cameron years we have been subdued into thinking only rich can get richer and the middle class has to suffer. Corbyn will completely reverse all that. The middle class will start feeling the power as the rich are dismantled and the country will thrive in socialism and people power. Vote Corbyn!!!

Or... they can just leave and he will be forced to resort to the printing presses, without the veil of the banking system to hide it.

Which is exactly what he would try to do

At best, it is an abortive stop-gap measure to slowly unwind a problem governments strongly helped create and encourage in the first place. At worst, they become so addicted to it that they cannot think of a way to slowly remove it without causing significant market disruption. Central bankers are slowly beginning to admit this, even if only in private mutterings.

So it means he either will temper any "soak the rich" policies or will have to deal with the consequences of them planning around this. Meanwhile, the "soak the rich" policies will gradually be extended to the middle classes as well.

Would you as a headteacher of a failing school want an MPs child in your school?

That MP with a tiny nudge from other parents would make your life absolute hell I know teachers who sent their kids to the "wrong" school by accident and they were disruptive enough....
