  1. “Many people with boarding school syndrome will show some or all the following symptoms and traits: Problems with anger, depression, or anxiety Failure to sustain relationships and difficulties with emotional intimacy Fear of abandonment and/or separation anxiety Lack of trust Alcoholism, substance abuse, or other addictive behaviours Eating disorders Controlling or perfectionist tendencies Bullying behaviours Fear of failure Find it hard to switch off and relax Feel alone, even in a group of people A feeling of emptiness Problems parenting children“ https://caldaclinic.com/boarding-school-syndrome-the-childhood-trauma-of-privilege/ I’m not sure the best use of public funds.
  2. “the wealthy and well educated middle class will ALWAYS find a way to give their children an advantage in life.” Though no longer free of VAT. The route to privilege through private schools is clear: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/private-schools-social-mobility-commission-sutton-trust-education-elitist-a8972731.html
  3. Oh: https://caldaclinic.com/boarding-school-syndrome-the-childhood-trauma-of-privilege/ https://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/psychological-consequences-boarding-school
  4. I stand corrected, the State is funding some organized child cruelty.
  5. Because letting a tyrant invade other European nations always makes sense. Until it doesn’t, and then the price goes up.
  6. So Jezzer, your cunning plan to avoid inheritance tax by buying a farm hasn’t worked out.
  7. Moreover, the Government providing these subsidies are propping up the for profit private schools.
  8. Oh. Is stalking Government ministers your thing or are you going to tell us where you ripped this image from?
  9. Very different. Hence the outrage over moving the tax burden and reversing austerity,
  10. Like when did I agree to waste time looking up stuff on your behalf?
  11. Better? I you sure no Government money is being spent in private schools? https://amp.theguardian.com/education/2019/feb/05/critics-take-aim-at-subsidies-given-to-private-schools
  12. I think Reaves should have gone further and removed ‘Charity Status’ from these ‘for profit’ organizations.
  13. Are you denying private education in the UK is a means to access privilege?
  14. The budget allocated £Billions of additional funds to the state school sector, where the vast majority of UK children are educated. So not a slap in the face for majority of the folk in the UK. Just a bit more to pay for those wishing to buy privilege.
  15. I take it the feared loss of armed forces personnel due to VAT on private school fees isn’t among the lower ranks.
  16. Yet more invective. Your pension pot will not be taxed at 40 while you are alive. Closing the loophole of using pension pots to avoid inheritance tax makes very good sense. Pension pots are tax deductible savings that grow free of capital gains tax and offer a significant tax free lump sum when pensions are first drawn. Allowing these tax free assets to be passed on as a tax free is ludicrous. I have absolutely no objection to my pension pot being taxed after I die, I will no longer have any need of it. Ans as I mentioned earlier, a portion of my monthly UK pension payments will be subject to 40% tax. ‘You gotta pay your taxes son’.
