You'll probably duck my question but why abolish independent schools?
Many (but obviously not all) are beacons of excellence.
I could drive a Ford Ka (and have done!) or, save up and buy a Lamborghini, generally held to be a better car. My savings, my choice. Ditto schools: my saving and choice.
I have saved our country money by not using state schools and ought have a credit if anything!
Why destroy some absolutely outstanding organisations, except out if spite? Jealousy?
I don't live in an enormous mansion but am not envious of those who do: good luck to them (as long as they, like me, have paid their taxes!).
Work instead into paying teaching staff a decent salary, put money into early education, school buildings and stop the decline in our educational standards.
Yes, I know this means raising taxes. The NHS and education are worth paying more for.
