Should England ban private schools

[El Kabong]

Stop pretending to speak for people you have absolutely nothing to do with, or pretending to have a handle on things of which you have no experience or knowledge. Private schools here often benefit from charitable status and tax privileges whilst running at a huge profit. Even public and state schools now have under a Tory Government started to be run like private businesses. The academies are then closed down and the land and playing fields sold off for development, netting huge profits for the directors who then fuck off. It is a terrible model from America we would do well to not ape. Feudal top down pyramid models with idiots at the apex of them. Look and Boris and the Don. Bullshit merchants selling over confidence in their own ignorance, like it is some kind of expertise, whilst having less common sense or actual knowledge of anything than the average bloke or woman.

It is exactly like you and Gandalf (and sometimes Walrus) you both know actually, close to fuck all, about nearly everything, and so have to cover that up with bluster and selling other people's conspiracy theories. You do so presumably because you think it gives you both the shine of sophistication . It doesn't, you can see the crassness and second hand nature of your arguments from miles away. The same as your bullshit man of the woods crap. I don't expect you have ever hunted for anything but your lost keys, but love the idea of pretending to be Grizzly Adams. You both try way too hard. Private schools are full of people like you that bully the scholarship kids for not being from the right class. They use terms like 'Your people' and finger wag like you do all day long. Anyone who has had to work with ex Private school toffs know how many of them are clueless and actually drag the company/team/endeavour down with their ideological identity politics and mistaking old fashioned ignorance for tradition or conservation.

Gee that's odd, I don't remember asking you anything. Yet here you are and it's the same again personal insult after personal insult and yet again I'm not responding in kind, do you WANT me to respond in kind? I seem to recall you constantly preaching about how the forum would be so much better if we all stopped fighting, there will be new posters if we all stopped fighting, and why is everyone ganging up on me (you know, after I lump them all together and insult the lot of them)? I guess that is ancient history.

I asked @Master a question, I explained how things are in the States so HE, not you....allow me to emphasize this properly ***NOT YOU*** could compare and contrast how things work. And maybe Master and I could have a discussion on the pros and cons of public and private schooling....you know, like adults do. But apparently you'd rather that not happen and so you swoop in here to attack me (unprovoked, again) and again I'm not even responding in kind.


I can honestly tell you, due to the hostility that you respond to me with (from 0 insult or provocation on my part) I am not all that interested in discussing anything with you.


You may think of me what you will, it doesn't bother me at all. Think I'm some "trustafarian" think I've never hunted anything, think I went to a private school, think it all day long and twice on Sunday. You couldn't be further from the truth. I'm no "Toff"....but I'm ever so pleased that you're not the slightest bit angry with the things you've dreamed up about me in your own mind, that is really impressive

Isn't that the same person who branded me a Brock 3 times? I saw two other people say that he Branded a Bilbo and Branded a Frodo. So this isn't a kind of game but he is serious?
