"Nationalise private schools plans"

OK, the headline hams it up a bit, but it just goes to show why proper lefties love recessions - it gives them an excuse to go round nationalising, subsidising and regulating stuff, thus keeping everything permanently frozen in the whatever poor condition it happens to be in, thus locking us in to a permanent state of recession.

As to the issue of private schools, all I can say is "vouchers", that way many more, possibly most, parents would be able to afford it.

Yes, and the reason we keep hearing of these STUPID ideas is only because the msm (especially the beeb) is in thrall to the lefties' agenda.

As the influence of the msm declines and the blogosphere takes over I think (hope) that this bias will be corrected. Lefties rely on taking control and excluding non-lefty opinion ("controlling the agenda") and as the number of information sources increases this will become more difficult and maybe impossible to engineer.

It has been easy for a small number of gramscians to take over some of our structured institutions (the beeb, the grauniad, etc.) and pervert them for their own ineffable, nefarious purposes but they wont have enough apparatchiks in their ranks to act as commissars on every blog. And, so far, lefty blogs are pleasingly inept and unsuccessful.

Mind you, we'll still have the socialist trolls who (as far as I can tell) are the sort of "people" who oppose vouchers (for example) but can never quite come up with a solid argument against (never mind a complete, coherent case).

I remember a chap once telling me that he was dead against a school rearrangement because that would have meant poor children attending the school his own children attended. Vouchers would guarantee such intruders. (P.S. The chap concerned was a leftie CoE priest: in vino veritas, eh?)
