State vs Public

The left have an enemy called private education.

They loath anyone from private education such as David Cameron, George Osbourne, Tony Blair (we all dislike him regardless).

Although they ignore those who were privately education on Labour's front bench, Ed Balls, Harriet Harman, who both claim to be 'less posh' than they're counter parts. Also Labour back bench MP Hilary Benn (son of the late Tony Benn who was also privately educated).

Even majority of celebrities who back Labour were privately educated, such as:

• Stephen Fry
• Eddie Izzard, 
• Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.
• Robert Webb (Grammar)
• Rufus Hound
• Stewart Lee

We even have Labour MP's getting their children privately educated, whilst slating other's for doing so such as Diane Abbott, and Tony Blair

So why is it OK for these lot to be privately educated, but not if you're a Tory?

Ex Tory PM John Major was from a working class background, same as the late and great Margaret Thatcher, ex Tory leaders William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith were taught in comprehensives.

I had state schooling (as you can probably tell by my appalling punctuation), however, I am not jealous, nor do I feel I have been cheated of a better education just because someone else's parents could afford for them to go private school.

I couldn't careless if Labour MP's want to privately educate their children, nor could I careless if they were privately educated themselves.

Why do Labour think they've got the right to tell people how they can spend their own money? If you want to spend £10,000 each year on your child, that's up to you, not Owen Jones of the Guardian, or comedian Russell Brand, or even Diane Abbott.

Just sounds like jealousy, and school ground bullying.

What I despise is the hypocrisy. Harman and Balls both claiming not to be as posh as George Osbourne, or Samantha Cameron, yet Harman is a niece of a Aristocrat and went to private school.

It actually sounds like school ground bickering "I'm not as posh as you!"

Who cares if you're posh or not? Surely it's down to whether you're competent enough to do the job, and I don't believe education necessarily gives you that competence, and usually when you're competent, you have the rare gift of common sense.

You either have common sense or you don't, doesn't matter how working class or posh you are.
