    I have seen the bill boards. So what`s all the help Dave is going to give to families?
  • Interesting that Cameron's child goes to state school while some Nu Labour MPs send their children to private schools.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    Blair sent his kids to State School as well. Any party leader has to do that nowadays.

    There was a very funny routine about this in the last series of the Thick of It.

  • labour are useless hypocritical scum. they may send their little red spawns to "state school" but only in the best areas. not into the inner city cess pits they have created.

    BLiar didn't send his children to his local state school. He was more selective than that.

    And you think Cameron has - wrong. He has been pretty selective too.

    And this is from the Daily Mail.
    David Cameron has angered parents by rejecting at least 15 local primaries to try to get his daughter into an exclusive state school.
    The Tory leader and his wife Samantha want four-year-old Nancy to attend an exclusive Church of England primary more than two miles from their home.
    They have passed over at least 15 other nearby primaries, including alternative CofE schools, to do so.
    Local families have accused Eton-educated Mr Cameron of "snobbery" in choosing the highly sought-after St Mary Abbots instead of schools such as a 453-pupil primary yards from his front door in Notting Hill.

  • this is perfectly acceptable for a tory. its not acceptable for labour.
  • It wouldn't bother me if he sent them to private school. It's a free country.

    This country seems to insist on a leader who is prepared to put their own image before the welfare of their own children. And people wonder why they all turn out to be psychopaths...

    Is it disgraceful that a political leader should want the best possible education for his children do you think?

    I'd be more appalled by a leader picking education for his/her kids for political reasons.

    I suppose the only exception is when a politician opposes a particular type of education and chooses it for his/her kids. For example, those Leftists that want to ban private schools but still send their kids there.

    No I don't think it's disgraceful that politicians or any one else to want the best possible education for their children - as a parent I certainly did.

    I do find it annoying that people think that Tony Blair chose the best schools for his children - but think David Cameron hasn't done exactly the same thing. Obviously he has - and I'm not saying that's wrong - I would do exactly the same myself.
