Re: School hands out the begging bowl
I am pretty damned sure Labour would not announce plans to divert funding into grammar schools at a time of schools being in dire financial straits.
I get sick and tired of the same old, same old Tory tactic of responding to any criticism with rote reciting of vast sums of money, usually with no indication of what that means in the context of overall budgets. The attitude seems to be give the plebs a number too big for them to imagine and they will think we are doing something meaningful. The Rightist reduction of everything to a balance sheet is wrong in so many ways.
