In the BBC’s case, they did:I wonder whether the UK media will ever examine its own role in propagating a lot of the utter myths associated with it. In particular the alleged public service broadcasters.
It’s powder puff though, they’ve said it out loud when there is no longer a danger of change… and they will then carry on as before.In the BBC’s case, they did:

Hmmm
That won’t take long then.The whole programme is about the economic success of brexit
There definitely needs to be some protection for pubs as a cultural icon. Breweries too get nothing from government despite being an industry that could largely get by with solely home grown inputs.Should stop hammering alcohol anyway. One of the last things remaining that brings people together in real life. Remove tax exemption from private schools and churches and give it to pubs.
Saw a tweet claiming it’s cheaper to send them on a Disney cruise than put them on the barge. Surely that’s not actually true?

Probably planted there by the left.
Forcing private schools out of business when the state sector is already broken doesn’t strike me as a wise idea.Should stop hammering alcohol anyway.

I’ve got no investment now in what happens to them but the finances of a good number are precarious and if they close, the kids will enter the state system which can’t manage what it already has.Said the private school student.
I don’t see how it would force them out of business. Just put up fees if they have to.

Well until we get a government willing to take education and health seriously the private alternatives do provide relief for the state systems. Don’t think that’s in much doubt, you physically have fewer people using the same service.Maybe an influx of Tory voting parents with sharp elbows and the ear of the government is just what education needs?
This is the same logic that says private healthcare helps the NHS. Cherry picking the most productive and profitable parts of a system never helps the other parts. See also grammar schools.
If poshos want to buy privileges then I can’t stop them, but I’m sure as hell not going to subsidise them.

In effect you will be subsidising them if they close as the state will have to absorb the pupils into the system
Most are far from poshos
If you can afford £15k/year, you are wealthy whether you choose to admit it or not.
Another customer of the private system here with his totally balanced and neutral views.
Many take loans or re-mortgages out
I did the latter
One lived in St James road Willenhall as they sold their house to pay.
One (admittedly on a huge bursary) was a single mother with sub £40k wages and savings
And I know a tramp who won the lottery. Let’s just buy homeless people lottery tickets.
What you’re saying is you leveraged your wealth to enable it. That’s exactly what I’m saying too.
Just ballpark figures, would the median parental income at say Bablake be higher or lowers than, oh I don’t know, Stoke Park?
This isn't the point though and its a subject where you are generalising from an outside perspective
The reality is the state system would have an influx of pupils which - given the lack of funding - will burden that system and weaken it.
Its interesting when Education becomes less of a priority when the politics of envy set in
The state system cannot serve the children it’s already trying to. Adding more to it is going to make it worse. This seems like the people who argued against Farage saying that immigrants need housing which we also don’t have enough of.If you can afford £15k/year, you are wealthy whether you choose to admit it or not.

Why do you think an influx of smart, hard working kids with supportive parents would weaken the state system exactly? Walk me through it.
“Politics of envy” I’m just saying buying your kids a head start shouldn’t be tax free FFS. Especially when it demonstrably harms those who can’t afford it.
