If ever there was a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face it has to be slamming a 20% tax on private schools. By choosing private education parents are saving the state (us taxpayers) the cost of educating their children. A 20% tax will, exactly as Labour intends, cause many parents to abandon private schools, so overall the cost of educating kids in state schools will rise. Many private schools will even have to close, putting all their staff out of work. And don't be naive enough to believe that most of the unemployed teachers will end up in hell-hole state schools. Many won't want to, and often the schools won't want those who aren't used to the zoo-keeping needed in so many state schools.
