    and a prime target for IR35 or whatever bollocks they dream up next. In a fair and just system (according to Brownstuff), everyone will be up to their eyes in debt or taxes, or both.

    The saying only two things are certain, death and taxes, is being rewritten debt and taxes. Death is just another way of saying you defaulted on the loan. Don't worry, they'll get your kids instead.

      GOOD state schools are being barred from choosing pupils from middle-class families by the government's education watchdog on admissions.

      The schools have been hit by a series of rulings which block them from doing anything that might be seen as giving preferential treatment to middle-class applicants.
      The policy is being forced through by the government in a drive to use admissions to tackle "segregation" in society. The judgements, which set a precedent extending throughout the state school system, include:
      • - Banning headteachers from asking parents why they want to come to the school, in case this puts non-English speakers at a disadvantage

      • - Barring schools from asking for children's birth certificates in case this identifies the parents' jobs, which might give professional families a competitive edge

      • - Forbidding a discussion with parents of the school's Ofsted inspection report as this might discriminate against parents who "do no understand bureaucracy"

      • - Stopping schools asking parents whether they support its ethos because this might be considered "patronising" to less well-educated or ethnic minority parents.
      Do you have a reference for any of this, or is it just your inane ranting again? Maybe a link that isn't to the Mail on Sunday, Sunday Telegraph or Sunday Times - nor, to be even-handed, to The Observer or The Guardian?

      Not taking sides, just wondering
