Jacob Rees-Mogg Moves For Conservative Party Leadership.

No, you don’t need to be a hypocrite yourself to spot one,
What a curious thing for you to say trisher.
Being the child of an MP could result in unwanted attention, at any school, state or private, but that’s another matter.
Any MP who shouts about inequalities regarding types of education and then sends their own offspring to private schools is a hypocrite.

What’s your take on JC then for NOT wanting to do that?

No, I think it takes someone who chooses to ignore the truth to defend a hypocrite

It wasn’t a curious thing to say lemon, it was a deliberate slur on a posters character

I was thinking lemonthat if the MP sends their child to a local school there are places where not only the children but the parents could subject the child to unwanted attention in order to influence their parent. It would as always depend upon the quality of the school and the area it serves, but it is a distinct possibility.Teachers sometimes have similar problems, so they often move their children to a school in a different area.

Yes, that’s true, but an MP could do the same, choose a state school a bit further away.

Catchment area, lemongrove?
Or one could be like Diane Abbott and after independent secondary school, send him to an independent boarding school in Ghana for the Sixth Form .

That was certainly out of the public eye!!!

Was it really nn? That damn left wing press hiding stories about Labour MPs. Whatever next. Why does the Ghana schoool matter anyway - isn’t the real issue about not being educated in a state school?

If one lives in England and send’s one’s son to an independent boarding school in Ghana it has everything to do with not being educated in a state school

Isn't that what Tony Blair did lemon and was heavily criticised for doing it? So maybe you are damned whatever you do.

Maybe she thought he should experience other cultures.

Sandwiched between City of London Boys’ and Cambridge?
There are plenty of excellent Sixth Form colleges in London, but perhaps an independent boarding school was more helpful in getting him in.

Once DA made the decision to educate him privately,it’s irrelevant surely what country he was educated in? I can see the sense of his experiencing Africa - why not? It must have been a great experience

Experiencing other cultures is what High School teenagers do in a gap year or when leaving universities .

No matter it was Ghana, it was not uk state education .

Support banning grammar schools but as it’s Corbyn close friend it’s a great experience to choose a school in another country .

No condemnation from Corbynites , just praise .

I have criticised what DA did in making her choice - RTFT and stop attributing statements to me that are not true - iirc you get pretty pissed off about this ab

Re abs point and children’s education. FWIW I do think that people who choose to go into public life and thereby espouse certain policies eg towards selective education should follow those policies in their private lives.

Which bit of this don’t you understand?

I am according to Corbynites a Tory supporter because I find JRM amusing.

What does it make Diane Abbott who chose Johnathon Aitkin Tory MP as Godfather for her son.

baggs this was their catchment area primary school and she was satisfied with it, but not the secondary to which they'd move after p7.
Her no 1 daughter transferred to private education after p7.
However, mother did not like the teacher that no 2 daughter should have had and transferred her after p5.
The hypocrisy was compounded by the fact that she insisted private education was not her choice but that of the paternal GP's who paid the fees!
The GP's worked way beyond retiral age and remained in their small council flat to meet the costs!
BUT, the plan worked as both girls met and married 'suitable' men and Mum achieved her goal!

Oh no annie!! Surely not! I'm completely astonished!!

Get in there annie

Although he did see the error of his ways while in prison Did this go some way for him to be released early?mmm, let me think

Grandad with the rest of their small membership

BINGO!!!! Yay!

Here we go again. Small membership of the Conservative party versus LARGE membership of the "For Three Quid Come And Be A Corbyn Revolutionary, Comrade" party.

And we mustn't forget that despite Momentum's backing and a HUGE membership, Corbyn and Labour LOST the last election and didn't fare well in recent local elections either.

So what, mcem? Someone made choices you apparently wouldn't have made in the same circumstances. It's hardly a big deal. And it's not hypocrisy to dislike a teacher and to prefer that one's child be taught by someone else—in the best interests of the child and all that. One doesn't have to agree with such views to allow that they are within the bounds of reasonableness.

What harm does hypocrisy, if that's what it is, do anyone else? For that matter, what harm does it do the hypocrite except perhaps to make people dislike them, about which they might not care?

As for grandparents paying for private schooling, well, I think it happens a fair bit. Does this actually damage society?
