  1. Kier Starmer has a flat and uninspiring delivery but he may well grow into his job. But at least he won’t be clowning like Johnson, Robotic and disconnected like Sunak, or plain loopy like Truss. Boring, honest and consistent will do me just fine thanks. Many private schools are bastions for the privileged and should pay their fair share. I think you’re clutching at straws when you harken to this ECHR idea, since you could use the same argument (and legal mechanisms) to point out that all other industries and businesses have to pay their fair share of taxes and there is no lawful reason to exempt private education, making them, “special,” in some way. Remember, child care homes, elderly residences, care centres, hostels and accommodation for the disabled ALL have private sector investors, making profits out of public need and paying their taxes for them. What makes private education so special? The only thing the public can see is that it’s the Tory MP’s kids who all attend these schools. That doesn’t seem fair? But, here’s the kicker. The latest MRP poll to study this issue in recent weeks (as discussed on the YouTube channel, A Different Bias) shows us that, despite any personal and anecdotal evidence you may have to the contrary, the one demographic that has little to no objection to private education paying VAT is the parents of privately educated children. They, like the majority of the country, do NOT object to paying taxes nearly so much as they object to the breakdown of the services that those taxes are supposed to pay for!
