Can we also do one about Jeremy Fucking Corbyn. As someone who plans to send my kids to private school I think he's being a complete cunt for threatening to add VAT to private school fees.
I don't see why I should have to pay to feed poor children as well as paying for them to go to school, pretty sure its their parents job to feed them and if they can't then they should be sterilised so they can't make any more.

As a rather well off parent that will be sending their kids to state schools I don't see the need to pay for my kids meals either
If you're going to add the tax at least use it to pay for something that's really needed.

OK, I'll bite
Private schools operate as businesses, so why should they not be taxed as such? The tiny amount of 'charity work' they do does not justify not paying VAT.
Near us is Eton and they own Dorney Lake, where the Olympic rowing was held. Dorney Lake is run as a profit center for Eton and they rarely give free access.
The amount of tax is tiny compared to getting Facebook or Google to pay what they owe, however.

But increasing private school costs will mean less parents can afford to send their children there which in turn will increase the pressure on state schools.
It's a similar argument with private health care, people who can pay for their own treatment shouldn't be discouraged from doing so as it frees up NHS resources.
Using Eton as an example is not particularly helpful as they're not really representative of private schools in general.

Yeah, I am sure they (you) can find the money. It is up to you isn't it, your child's education or that new 4x4? I am sure some will not be able to pay...but lets not pretend there will be a mass exodus. State schools can't get anymore fucked.
