    Since there's no O Level in Socialist Lunacy, does it matter if she's got any grades or not? Socialist Lunacy is the only subject she needs to be skilled in, and it would seem she's extremely highly qualified...

    It is estimated that those attending private school would cost the public purse £6bn to educate.
    Additionally I can see a % sending their kids abroad or living abroad to be educated. Especially those at boarding schools.
    Along with teaching talent.
    Just another contributor to the Corbyn population exodus.
    But hey Venezuela went well.

    You don't need any education at all to work to work in the fields.

    Surely the uk won't need many engineers in the future.
    We won't have fields, they'll all be new-build housing soon.

    Just walked past the local primary. Some dude outside barely able to stand screaming "have you got a polly bag" at the lollipop man.

    House prices and catchment areas already provide a form of education separation.
    I can't see a short-sighted, eye-catching, class-war based, policy of jealousy economics will change much.
