I had private education and it was'nt that great.
I can't see the fuss about it.
I sent my three girls to state schools and they did fine although it was an education for me to go through the system.
My sister continued down the private route for her boys and they did'nt do any better than my daughter's.
Both sets of kids did just as well at uni despite their different educational backgrounds.

It's all academic now anyway.
The Labour government, with all its preaching about 'inclusivity' and 'social mobility' had a chance to do something with these people while the economy was bouyant. They could have been eased into productive work and disincentivised from having children so that the problem bred itself out.
It's too late for all that now. The country is bankrupt, (it's being kept on life support at the moment by QE in a desperate attempt to enable Labour to win the next election) so the state will eventually have no more money to pay these people with (or it will be in some sort of worthless Zimbabwean type currency).
It'll be prison or the workhouse for them, like it always was before the Welfare State.
The sad thing is that the genuinely deserving will lose out as well.'Never keep up with Joneses. Drag them down to your level. It's cheaper.' Quentin Crisp0
