Champions of selfish individualism, brutal competition and embedded inequality beg customers to act like socialists

Has anyone started a campaign for tax rebates now that all the council school weans are out for the Summer? Thought not. But in the Telegraph today we read:

‘Barnaby Lenon, chairman of the ICC and a former headmaster of Harrow School, urged embittered parents to remember that private schools will face the same risk of closure as other small businesses if they lose money.’

No I did not make his name up. You never need to make up the names of top fee-paying school’s heidies. He does have only one ‘n’ in ‘Lenon’. No it’s not Lenin!

  1. Ahoy there, chappie. Have a care. We ain’t like you country oiks; we have standards to upkeep. Lickle Jesper and Persephone have had to come home–out of season, so to speak. The dammed staff have all buggered Orf to whatever flyblown speck on the map they have come from–“look after Momma and a Papa”–what a cheek:::WHAT ABOUT US!!!! And baby Borissienna-May—whose going to wet nurse her, eh? Tell me that.
    We can’t go to the chateau in the Dordogne, or the Villa in Italy. You Jocks don’t want us to go to our 20,000acre Lodge. We could take the yacht if we had a crew and somewhere to land. The ‘copter ditto.
    So why shouldn’t we get a bung for our schools, eh? We cashed in our stocks and shares in January, and we need to keep our funds for “shorting and futures”. You surely can’t expect us to spend our own money. Demmed socialist, commie Marxists. Time Boris shut the talking shop down. Make Westminster a proper Palace again–though not for some demmed colonial bride–have to wonder about Harry–a coo coo in the demmed nest, no wonder Betty has her doubts. Cousins are best, half cousins nearly straying too far from the tree.

  2. Either these schools pay their full whack of local rates or local authority schools have their rates burden lifted.

    What gets me is the lack of self-awareness of these people. There is a sense of entitlement – because they are ‘important’ (self-declared importance) – whereas the rest of us are ‘subsidy junkies’ in a ‘dependency culture’.

    But, of course those one-time ‘socialists’ Brown and Darling provided billions of socialism for the rich so that they could get their bonuses, while the rest of us suffered 10 years of ‘austerity’.

    Market forces, eh? Life can be so ‘unfair’!
