Have you seen the news on the man who has died in prison of a heart attack who was in prison for being at a riot. He was 61 years old had recently had a heart attack and went along to a protest, he said racist words to the police and called the asylum seekers child killers. He was given 2 years and 8 months for saying this stuff and has sadly had another heart attack in prison and died. I remember Trevor Sinclair the ex football player and BBC presenter being charged with racism, he had been drinking and drove his car and hit a woman in the road and left the scene on foot. When the police caught up with him and placed him under arrest he became very aggressive and very racist to the white police officers arresting him. When put in the back of a police vehicle he decided to urinate himself as an act of vandalism on the police car and when booking him into the police station he continued he racist tirade at all the white officers at the police station. He was given 150 hours community service...
I'm wondering whether a possible counter-argument to the age discrimination point is that there are some highly gifted children who attend university at an earlier age. There is no proposal to subject their education at university to VAT. So not quite age discrimination - rather discrimination on the basis of how far someone has progressed with their education.
@@dreddykrugernewSadly I think you'll find that gentleman took his own life in prison ..... and it didnt need to be this way .Ideologically I may not have agreed with him buy I feel he had a right to protest , a right to carry a non abusive placard & a right to voice his opinions as long as hes not harming others .He should never have been jailed and if anyone protests his death I hope the vindictive & arbitrary nature of Starmer & government is not unfairly visited on them .

Indeed. There is a problem with "financial equality" in politics. That's why we have laws limiting campaign spending, things like that, trying to make sure that it's not wealth that wins. And, in the old days, MPs from the north of England / Scotland had real challenges attending parliament, unless they had independent income, because back then there was no salary in doing the job and the highest possible expenses associated with living in a constituency and also spending a lot of time in London. That's where the whole business of expenses has come from, and become occasionally problematic. Maybe parliamentary expenses should be means tested? Or, flat rate? Or, distance-adjusted rates also taking into account cost of living differences? Maybe they should have no money (not even their own), and a chaperone pays for everything they need? I don't know. Basically, one needs one's politicians to actually focus properly on the job of politicianing without have to overly worry about income, but deciding where that threshold should be no doubt stimulates a lot of discussion! One person's "crook" is another person's "justly remunerated". Fiction is quite interesting to read on this sort of topic. In the Iain M Banks novel "The Algebraist", there's the notion of a low level politician having to be corrupt in order to live, simply so that when they became more senior there was something by which to coerce them with. Things didn't work out so well for that society in the book... There there's Arthur C Clarke's book "Songs of Distant Earth", where the president was picked by random lottery and the job was generally seen as something of a personal imposition, rather than a position to quest for. Bit like Jury duty.
You saved taxpayers money, too. And why can't the state, with all the resources at its disposal, outcompete what private schools offer? Because they are bureaucrats and have another agenda that doesn't include an educated populace.
Looking at the Web site of my old fee paying prep school, the government could be classed as racist if they start attacking private schools and not classist as most would assume. Labour politics have always been the politics of envy and jealousy!
I sent my child to a private school because at that time the secondary school she would have automatically gone to was only getting 35% of its students to A-C GCSE grades. I made the choice to move school, and basically sacrifice any savings towards my old age because I wanted better for her. I saved the government 7 years of the cost of educating her, and parents today are doing the same, yet they will now be taxed. Not all of us are rich, we just made sacrifices to do the best for our children.
@Lorraine You are absolutely right. There are many parents who scrimp and save to send their children to private school. Many private schools also share facilities eg Swimming pool, playing fields ( because they’ve been sold off) My daughters friends are all teachers, one by one they’ve all gone part time because they can’t deal with the stress of overcrowded classes etc. The government doesn’t seem to have thought any of their policies through!
Awww, I feel so sorry for you, I couldn’t imagine having to send my children to the schools the majority of people go to, filled with the dregs of society. You can’t afford it, neither can the parents who’re sending their kids to the free schools, why are you so special that now you can’t afford it either you have the right to complain?
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill
After their first child my daughter and her husband were told they wouldn’t be able to have any more children so they totally invested in their only child and scraped by to be able to afford to send him to private school before he went onto university and who is now a fully qualified doctor. A lot of parents struggle financially and make sacrifices so they can send their children to private school knowing they will have the best education and a good start in life which state schools certainly do not provide.
Keep up the good work in exposing how hypocritical, inept, damaging and anti-Briton this Labour government are, Daniel. They are truly a horrible party lead by the worst PM ever, and they are harming British people and harming this country. I just hope this government are turfed out ASAP.

@@dobbsmill3676 it was introduced by the Finance Act 1972 and came into effect on 1 April 1973 when we joined the EU. The UK implemented its VAT system in 1973 following its entry into the European Economic Community (EEC) on January 1 of that year.
I am a pensioner. I was so disillusioned with the local comprehensive being unable to give my autistic child the support they needed I sent them to a private school that had been recommended to me to study for A level. It cost me a lot of money, but the school was so supportive and, to be honest, I couldn't fault their provision for special needs students, that it was money well spent. I wish governments would put efforts into making all schools as good as this one rather than trying to destroy them for political (and futile) point scoring.
Doing things properly requires money, which requires taxing both individuals and companies, something which no major political party has the courage to say publicly.
We made a huge sacrifice to privately educate our two children at the finest schools (primary, secondary and university). They also received weekly music lessons for piano, violin and cello . We hired a private coach for their sport and art classes. We didn’t go on holidays, exchange gifts for Christmas or birthdays. Every farthing went into giving them the power of a well-rounded education. It was an honor providing them skills and a firm foundation for life. There was NO room for a 20 percent surcharge/VAT.
If Starmer adheres to the agenda our entire judicial system will be administered and run by advanced AI. No need for inept and inadequate lawyers who currently have redundancy built in
To be fair, there's a huge difference between getting a law degree, and becoming a good lawyer. I think the problem with a lot of politicians is they jumped straight into politics and don't really have much of a clue about how the world really works.
They are professionals. Professional lawyers. The whole point is to make everything as grey and muddy as possible so that it gets dragged through the courts were they can charge ridiculous amounts to fight the "case".
Labour's problem is the same as always- Education never quite caught on. In their dumbness, they apparently believed that closing down Grammar Schools in the mistaken belief that it would drag up the less able pupils with the result that it severely handicapped the more able as they didn't need to work to remain at the top, resulting in dumbed down results and dumbed down University courses resulting in the import of the better Educated who had maintained a work ethic.
Most people don't realise that disabled children, going to a non state school, fall into this category. So parents of a disabled child are now having to pay VAT, which is essentially now a tax on being disabled.
I think I must be one of the luckiest people on earth!! I went to a small boarding school just outside Wincanton, Somerset. My parents were teachers of music and the then Prince of Wales funded my boarding school education. May I take this opportunity to thank a great and rich gentleman who helped people like my parents and myself.
They are allowed a maximum of 8 years and can quit at any time but once the time is up they are taken out back and have their cranium ventilated. If death was part of the job the people that would go into politics wouldn’t be striving to make the place worse as all they would leave is a legacy.
Party voters should be banned from electing a candidate like in America. The president has to be natural born rather than born in the republican/ democrat party.
Let them charge VAT on school fees. However, each child that is not using the state system, the parent must have the right to claim the cost back to put towards private education, which is estimated to be £8,500 per pupil. If this is not allowed, then it's an admission of envy politics.
At one time parents could take the value of the state education and send their children to private schools. Tony Blair first day in office scrapped this.

@gordoncharles741 Sorry, but you'll always find that the lesser educated will bring the better down. Same as when you put riff raff in a nice neighbourhood.
Probably they will have to leave those children in their private schools, but pay the fees for them. It's happened at least once already. In the case of whole schools that close because a critical mass of pupils have departed, they may have to take over the whole school and pay everyone's fees.

@@mauricetrotter6010 So you simply assume its wealthy families sending their children to a private school, and not working class families. Typical lazy lefty politics there. To the people of limited means barely able to afford the school fees this is the difference between their child getting educated or being dumped into the overcrowded and under performing state school system, but I suppose envy makes you resent anyone trying to rise above the bottom.
Wealthy friend of mine was eligible for Attendance Allowance yet never claimed it. But she was so annoyed at losing the winter fuel allowance (£200 a year) she's now claiming Attendance Allowance* (£108 a week). Edit *Originally I said PIP - my mistake

Surely parents who send their kids to private school should get tax breaks. They are taking pressure off of the public education system. Same goes for private medical and dental care
I am a visiting music teacher in a private school. The professions of the majority of my students are pharmacists, estate agents, accountants, doctors, NHS staff and service personnel. They work hard to provide their children with an education they did not get. My brother and I went to boarding school because my father was in the forces (and our fees were subsidised) and we left at 13/14 because he left. This VAT charge is discriminatory and stinks of envy. It will have a negative impact on my student numbers and income.
it should not be forgotten that those who send their children to private schools are still contributing to the state education system, they do not get a refund on that money, further i still dont understand why the jealousy towards private schools and Grammar schools, these are probably the children that will grow up to be high earners and will contribute more taxes to society.....
I agree. Lots of us don't have kids at all but we still pay our taxes towards education. My attitude to this is that I want the best educated future workforce for my country, so when I'm old they can pay my pension. Its how society functions. We should ALL want education to be high quality and for our country to function well
Happy you said probably because not all high earners or achievers come from middle/upper class backgrounds, some actually have to work damn hard to get what the earn when the system doesn't do them any favours what so ever.
This Gov really are nothing more than student ideologues/politicians out of their depth, I have never known such a shockingly bad and incompetent Gov in my lifetime. Considering Starmer is a lawyer you'd think he'd know better, but like everything else we have seen from this Gov so far it's poorly thought out, inconsistent and just ridiculous.
Actually, it's not inconsistent - the politicians consistently gain, whilst we lose, and consistently move us towards a tyrannical neo-socialist state. And by now it's clear this assault on our country is not a series of 'blunders', but a concerted, deliberate effort to dismantle our sovereignty, so that the globalists can 'build it back'.

@@daffyduk77definitely went to a private fee paying school, didn't pay fees because he went there when it was a grammar school before it changed to fee paying half way through his education, so he slipped through. No surprise.

So, yes, what a monstrous hypocrite that makes him. My understanding is, his parents didn't pay from year-13 onwards for him.
@@daffyduk77he went to a fee paying school, he just didn’t pay. Remember it was Labour who started dismantling the Grammar school system in the first place, which resulted in many of these school becoming private schools. Then he went to university, which he didn’t have to pay fees for either. Some people get all the breaks. It’s funny you would think that Labour governments would want to support less well off people to achieve higher standards of education, but successive governments have made it more expensive to the point where only the very rich will be able afford the type of education Starmer enjoyed. I guess they want to keep the masses poor and uneducated as they will tend to vote labour.

My Mum and her sister attended private school, their parents were not wealthy but they put everything they had into the education of my Mum and her sister. They had seen how awful the local state-run schools were. Pushing people out of private education by slapping VAT on fees, will put greater strain on state-run education. Just because it is provided by the Government, does not mean it is the best. How many Labour MPs have put their children through PRIVATE education?

This is great content. Thank you. Taxing child education is an insult for hard working parents who have already paid tax on earnings, and save the government by not taking a state school place, do so at sacrificing their own needs and wants for the best interest of their child to get decent education. One which the government has failed to provide. What is most disappointing is that many think it’s the rich who send children to private schools. In the actual fact, more than 50% of those parents struggle to make those payments and often sacrifice many basic just so their child can do well, or in some cases is the only option for their child due to special needs or circumstances. This government is criminal to say the least
A Swiss man said he could not get used to UK education system. In Switzerland the schools run by the state are free and so good that the only people who pay for education are the parents of children who have been expelled.
I am not sure you understand what is going ,Woke stuff is only a symptom of a larger problem in public schools. Public Schools by in large are ideological in very nature whilst on surface of it they teach literacy and numeracy then English and Maths. However truth of the matter is Elites resent ,very notion of Working Classes Reading and Writing never mind being able deal with large complex multidimensional and multivariant problems which would create Social Mobility our ancestors dream of. Often times Middle Class and Working Class Teachers ensure that doesn't happen and when people leave school stupider than they went in and lack basic skills as well academic skills needed to correct that by teaching themselves. Unless they're privately educated or study beyond High School usually University they'll never posses those skills and even then it is expected that at University level u should already be capable of teaching yourself. Herein lies the problem, entire nation obsesses over immigrants yet these and many problems are not being solved creating a huge educational gap which Politicians are exploiting in many ways including by funding groups that conduct high level race baiting exercises that keep public occupied whilst Trillions are being Laundered into Politicians pockets via Asset Stripping , Foreign Exchange Fraud and Easter Egging so those "donations" aren't actually from Assad's cousin ,they were given to Assad's cousin by Third Party that can't be traced back to Starmer or Bjo and look like bribes and perfectly legal bribes at that.

I have to ask this. How good is/was Kier Starmer as a Legal Professional in his past life? Just about everything he is doing is contravening some law or other! Has he not heard of research? Has he actually forgotten that laws do actually exist? When someone floats an idea does he not investigate the viability of the idea, and any ramifications that there would be? And is there no-one, no-one! - in his parliament with the brains and balls to stand up to him and his "sugar daddies"? Or, are they all on the take?

The age of 19 is usually for SEN children. Daniel is right with his description of the parents who will struggle with this extra VAT on fees.

Am I unreasonable in my expectation that Starmer as having held the post of head of CPS (amongst other things) should himself have more than an inkling of the relative legality of his policies? I do not question the morality of those policies as we should all be aware that he lacks any!
One would think that Starmer would be aware of the legal minefields head of him. I can only conclude that he is blinded by ideology. I have no other explanation other than the policy being put forward as an Aunt Sally to placate the far left. This seems somewhat unlikely gives that it seems to introduce more problems than it solves.

I was lucky enough to attend a grammar school back in 1972 that turned into a private school whilst I was there. Like Starmer, my remaining time at that school was free of charge to my parents. I have one son and we are not rich - we still decided to give him a private education and he is now attending a great university in Edinburgh. The current government really don’t seem to like people doing the best for their children and I despair at what will happen at each budget over the next 4 years.
They don't want children in a private Ed because they want to indoctrinate your children into everything on their list - wokeness, DEI, gender, climate etc etc. They do not want your children questioning things or thinking for themselves (which they will do in private Ed).
I was a normal office worker and my wife was an admin assistant but we sent our son to a fee-paying school! We could ill-afford it but we got by and considered our son's education was paramount for his future.
I work with many private schools that offer services to other state schools that the local authority cannot. Sports pitches, swimming pools, gyms, workshops during holidays. Private schools are not a closed system for the richest. They must get paid for these services I'm sure charging vat to other schools would be required. There is even a certain school where parents donate to help local community children to obtain school spaces for those that wouldn't ordinarily be able to attend. Rich people will continue to send their children.

If a private school provides assistance to a state school, that part of its expenditure can be classified as charitable. But classifying ALL fees as a charitable donation when the vast majority gets spent on the education of the children of the relatively wealthy parents is plainly ridiculous. Parents buy that education to obtain an education far in excess of that provided by state schools. That is definitely not charity. It is an attempt at muddying the waters. That does not, in itself, answer the question of imposing VAT on private schools, but it does knock away that particular argument.
yes, playing fields of state-sector schools have been sold off all over the country by cash-strapped councils. Due to Conservative "selling the family silver" policies to reduce taxes on the rich, no doubt. Those private schools using their extravagantly-well-endowed facilities will no doubt be able to use the demand from the hobbled state sector to keep a lid on the cost to them of running these facilities mainly for their regular customers. "Private schools are not a closed system for the richest." - sure as heck not set up for the masses. A nice PR win for them to appear to be helping the great unwashed. Preferably at minimal cost.

This was a huge sacrifice for my parents who were just hard working factory workers but they thought it was worth it to help him have the best education. We were brought up in the tenements of the east end of Glasgow so we certainly were not well off but my parents believed children's education was very important. Just a pity this government doesn't place the same importance on it whether the parents are rich or poor.

Have you seen the news on the man who has died in prison of a heart attack who was in prison for being at a riot. He was 61 years old had recently had a heart attack and went along to a protest, he said racist words to the police and called the asylum seekers child killers. He was given 2 years and 8 months for saying this stuff and has sadly had another heart attack in prison and died. I remember Trevor Sinclair the ex football player and BBC presenter being charged with racism, he had been drinking and drove his car and hit a woman in the road and left the scene on foot. When the police caught up with him and placed him under arrest he became very aggressive and very racist to the white police officers arresting him. When put in the back of a police vehicle he decided to urinate himself as an act of vandalism on the police car and when booking him into the police station he continued he racist tirade at all the white officers at the police station. He was given 150 hours community service...
I'm wondering whether a possible counter-argument to the age discrimination point is that there are some highly gifted children who attend university at an earlier age. There is no proposal to subject their education at university to VAT. So not quite age discrimination - rather discrimination on the basis of how far someone has progressed with their education.
@@dreddykrugernewSadly I think you'll find that gentleman took his own life in prison ..... and it didnt need to be this way .Ideologically I may not have agreed with him buy I feel he had a right to protest , a right to carry a non abusive placard & a right to voice his opinions as long as hes not harming others .He should never have been jailed and if anyone protests his death I hope the vindictive & arbitrary nature of Starmer & government is not unfairly visited on them .
@@meichong8278 Trevor Sinclair the ex footballer was drunk driving hit a woman crossing the road, fled the scene on foot, when cops went to arrest him he was racist to them, pissed himself on the back seat of the police vehicle as an act of vandalism, was racist to more police officers when being booked in the police station and after all this he got 150 hours community service...

Absolutely.
Indeed.
There is a problem with "financial equality" in politics. That's why we have laws limiting campaign spending, things like that, trying to make sure that it's not wealth that wins. And, in the old days, MPs from the north of England / Scotland had real challenges attending parliament, unless they had independent income, because back then there was no salary in doing the job and the highest possible expenses associated with living in a constituency and also spending a lot of time in London. That's where the whole business of expenses has come from, and become occasionally problematic.
Maybe parliamentary expenses should be means tested? Or, flat rate? Or, distance-adjusted rates also taking into account cost of living differences? Maybe they should have no money (not even their own), and a chaperone pays for everything they need? I don't know. Basically, one needs one's politicians to actually focus properly on the job of politicianing without have to overly worry about income, but deciding where that threshold should be no doubt stimulates a lot of discussion! One person's "crook" is another person's "justly remunerated".
Fiction is quite interesting to read on this sort of topic. In the Iain M Banks novel "The Algebraist", there's the notion of a low level politician having to be corrupt in order to live, simply so that when they became more senior there was something by which to coerce them with. Things didn't work out so well for that society in the book... There there's Arthur C Clarke's book "Songs of Distant Earth", where the president was picked by random lottery and the job was generally seen as something of a personal imposition, rather than a position to quest for. Bit like Jury duty.

I sent my child to a private school because at that time the secondary school she would have automatically gone to was only getting 35% of its students to A-C GCSE grades. I made the choice to move school, and basically sacrifice any savings towards my old age because I wanted better for her. I saved the government 7 years of the cost of educating her, and parents today are doing the same, yet they will now be taxed. Not all of us are rich, we just made sacrifices to do the best for our children.
@Lorraine You are absolutely right. There are many parents who scrimp and save to send their children to private school. Many private schools also share facilities eg Swimming pool, playing fields ( because they’ve been sold off) My daughters friends are all teachers, one by one they’ve all gone part time because they can’t deal with the stress of overcrowded classes etc. The government doesn’t seem to have thought any of their policies through!

I am a pensioner. I was so disillusioned with the local comprehensive being unable to give my autistic child the support they needed I sent them to a private school that had been recommended to me to study for A level. It cost me a lot of money, but the school was so supportive and, to be honest, I couldn't fault their provision for special needs students, that it was money well spent. I wish governments would put efforts into making all schools as good as this one rather than trying to destroy them for political (and futile) point scoring.
This child is exempt from paying VAT. If Rich people want to shun state schools why should the state subsidize that?
Doing things properly requires money, which requires taxing both individuals and companies, something which no major political party has the courage to say publicly.
We made a huge sacrifice to privately educate our two children at the finest schools (primary, secondary and university). They also received weekly music lessons for piano, violin and cello . We hired a private coach for their sport and art classes. We didn’t go on holidays, exchange gifts for Christmas or birthdays. Every farthing went into giving them the power of a well-rounded education. It was an honor providing them skills and a firm foundation for life. There was NO room for a 20 percent surcharge/VAT.

I used to think that Starmer was a distinguished and capable lawyer. Now I'm wondering.
Labour's problem is the same as always- Education never quite caught on. In their dumbness, they apparently believed that closing down Grammar Schools in the mistaken belief that it would drag up the less able pupils with the result that it severely handicapped the more able as they didn't need to work to remain at the top, resulting in dumbed down results and dumbed down University courses resulting in the import of the better Educated who had maintained a work ethic.
@@heron6462 'Forensic' 🤣😂
The ability to think ahead and plan is not an ability required by politicians.
Most people don't realise that disabled children, going to a non state school, fall into this category. So parents of a disabled child are now having to pay VAT, which is essentially now a tax on being disabled.

It’s the ( legal) system which is the problem.
Party voters should be banned from electing a candidate like in America. The president has to be natural born rather than born in the republican/ democrat party.
Let them charge VAT on school fees. However, each child that is not using the state system, the parent must have the right to claim the cost back to put towards private education, which is estimated to be £8,500 per pupil. If this is not allowed, then it's an admission of envy politics.
The schools should at least be able to claim back vat against the £8500 value as it should be allocated to every child.

Probably they will have to leave those children in their private schools, but pay the fees for them. It's happened at least once already. In the case of whole schools that close because a critical mass of pupils have departed, they may have to take over the whole school and pay everyone's fees.

My brother and I went to boarding school because my father was in the forces (and our fees were subsidised) and we left at 13/14 because he left. This VAT charge is discriminatory and stinks of envy. It will have a negative impact on my student numbers and income.
it should not be forgotten that those who send their children to private schools are still contributing to the state education system, they do not get a refund on that money, further i still dont understand why the jealousy towards private schools and Grammar schools, these are probably the children that will grow up to be high earners and will contribute more taxes to society.....
I agree. Lots of us don't have kids at all but we still pay our taxes towards education. My attitude to this is that I want the best educated future workforce for my country, so when I'm old they can pay my pension. Its how society functions.

In the actual fact, more than 50% of those parents struggle to make those payments and often sacrifice many basic just so their child can do well, or in some cases is the only option for their child due to special needs or circumstances.
This government is criminal to say the least
A Swiss man said he could not get used to UK education system. In Switzerland the schools run by the state are free and so good that the only people who pay for education are the parents of children who have been expelled.
All children must attend state schools for woke indoctrination!
I think you will find that private schools are pretty well as bad as the state sector.
@@timg1246 Some, not all & not to the same extreme. p.s. to my certain knowledge, this has been going on since the 50's.
@@timg1246 I think you will find they are not. I assume you have never been near one to make such a ridiculous remark.
@@timg1246not true my daughter has taught in a private school for 12 years ,just gone into a state one the difference is vast
I am not sure you understand what is going ,Woke stuff is only a symptom of a larger problem in public schools.
Public Schools by in large are ideological in very nature whilst on surface of it they teach literacy and numeracy then English and Maths.
However truth of the matter is Elites resent ,very notion of Working Classes Reading and Writing never mind being able deal with large complex multidimensional and multivariant problems which would create Social Mobility our ancestors dream of.
Often times Middle Class and Working Class Teachers ensure that doesn't happen and when people leave school stupider than they went in and lack basic skills as well academic skills needed to correct that by teaching themselves.
Unless they're privately educated or study beyond High School usually University they'll never posses those skills and even then it is expected that at University level u should already be capable of teaching yourself.
Herein lies the problem, entire nation obsesses over immigrants yet these and many problems are not being solved creating a huge educational gap which Politicians are exploiting in many ways including by funding groups that conduct high level race baiting exercises that keep public occupied whilst Trillions are being Laundered into Politicians pockets via Asset Stripping , Foreign Exchange Fraud and Easter Egging so those "donations" aren't actually from Assad's cousin ,they were given to Assad's cousin by Third Party that can't be traced back to Starmer or Bjo and look like bribes and perfectly legal bribes at that.
Labour don't like you being rich unless you can offer their politicians holiday homes or tickets to go and watch Arsenal or Taylor Swift concerts.
But it was ok for Johnson to have holidays on donors' exclusive private islands, his wedding reception at extravagant stately homes, redecorated home at ££££££ from rich donor friends (last 1 so blatant he had to repay). Sunak's wife benefitting from Sunak's tax policies into the millions ? Was that ok ? Maybe Daniel made videos about that. Or maybe not
@@daffyduk77 But he declared them which is all you need to avoid being called a sponger according to James O'Brien on LBC. They are all hogs with their snouts in the trough no matter what side of the House they sit in. Both Tory and Labour peerages are seen as a commodity, it stinks.
Time for an urgent "buyer's regret" election.
You just perfectly described why democracy is a shit system.

I need to clarify a few things and share some important information and details with you. I'll be expecting it on WA !!
How about the government stop giving 200 million pounds a year to private schools that conveniently run as charity's.
They are all idiots...
If you think they are idiots then they have fooled you
I wish I could disagree.
@@nickcoppard5335Have to disagree. The people at the very top are not stupid, but our politicians are. High confidence, low IQ. I've never seen such incompetence in parliament as I see today. I truly feel for my offspring.
I am so pleased for parents and children directly involved in this . Let’s hope they get justice .
I have to ask this. How good is/was Kier Starmer as a Legal Professional in his past life? Just about everything he is doing is contravening some law or other! Has he not heard of research? Has he actually forgotten that laws do actually exist? When someone floats an idea does he not investigate the viability of the idea, and any ramifications that there would be? And is there no-one, no-one! - in his parliament with the brains and balls to stand up to him and his "sugar daddies"? Or, are they all on the take? I never, ever, in my 69 years imagined I would ever be asking these questions of any government in the UK, let alone a Labour government.
You have to conclude not any good. Lawyers dwell on small details. There is no-one in his Parliament with any level of competence, experience or qualifications. Labour, like many councils, see intelligent people as a threat to their cosy existence and don't hire them out of spite.
I have repeatedly argued on this channel and others that he was a useless barrister. That's why he sought employment by the government. Like all public employees. He is lacking in vision, charisma, attention to detail, and most other aspects that define a competent legal mind.
There are some ideological driven Politicians that boast that they want to cause & create an educational system which produces "equality of result" in education, in other words these cranks believe that they can provide equality in Education ! ! Will these Politicians "ban children from listening to bed-time stories" because by listening to bed-time stories (perhaps read by their parents) it causes children to excel in their Education ?
He is following an Agenda that is not his own. He doesn't care about breaking laws, hurting people's feelings or doing the right thing... etc. His only goal is to implement the Global Agenda.
@@martyndawson7484 I think you may have just hit the nail on the head there Martyn. 🤔
What a delicious irony - a privately educated KC for a Prime Minister looking like a complete and utter melt.
Great video Daniel (as usual) 👌🏼🤓
Love receiving both the straight legal take, and hearing your personal take when you share it.
Sincerely hope you one day find yourself as a high court judge or similar influential position.
Our beautiful country desperately needs people like you in senior roles to help bring us back on track 🇬🇧❤️
The age of 19 is usually for SEN children.
Daniel is right with his description of the parents who will struggle with this extra VAT on fees.
Perhaps the government needs to give them a refund on the tax paid that goes to state schools.
Starmer benefitted from others PAYING his fees. His family didn't pay any fees to his school!
What a Hypocrite!!!
Yes and he is now pulling the ladder up behind him.
Seems he got used to freebies from a very early age.

I feel sure his parents paid their dues. Are you saying that children should only get the degree & extent of state-sector education commensurate with what their parents paid in as taxes ?
@@daffyduk77 Meritocracy is the best way and should be for all.
It's all down to jealousy.
I agree - and I’ve never understood it.
Nothing is that simple in life.
Am I unreasonable in my expectation that Starmer as having held the post of head of CPS (amongst other things) should himself have more than an inkling of the relative legality of his policies?
I do not question the morality of those policies as we should all be aware that he lacks any!
One would think that Starmer would be aware of the legal minefields head of him. I can only conclude that he is blinded by ideology. I have no other explanation other than the policy being put forward as an Aunt Sally to placate the far left. This seems somewhat unlikely gives that it seems to introduce more problems than it solves.
How are our lawmakers so short sighted? It seems like they have no formal legal training..
Thank you so much sweetie, I am a great grandmother and find this current government, and most politicians, unconditional I was born before Tel lie vision and grew up in an era where we were brought up, so different, I am very used to using my own mind, and things I can see, and hear.just reading a newspaper these days, is unfathomable, but I have found you and love your good down to earth view of different things going on. Keep up your good work. I find what you share, very enlightening. And it makes sense to us normal people.
This has echoes of the ridiculous “pasty tax” but is considerably more ill conceived.
One of the men that Starmer had locked up just died in prison. He was a grandfather.
education should be financially easy and academically difficult.
Y financially easy I assume you mean it should be subsidised by the tax payer? I disagree. Let the market set the price of education. That is the best way of ensuring expending on education is done efficiently.
@@rodneyfungus8249 That would be an interesting proposal in theory, but in reality it would just further entrench social-economic, class, and geographical divides.
If we were designing a country from scratch, and playing it like a game of Monopoly, all starting with the same, a free market for education could be interesting.
@@rodneyfungus8249 So the children of those on the minimum wage will have no chance. An American attitude. Reinforcing the underclass trap
I have never been to a comprehensive school all mine were boarding and private. Who are those people accusing you of going to one? Are they jealous? I am glad you are around to clear the legal matters in understandable precise and layman's terms. When you cleared up the door cam malarky it helped me look after my mother; had to place cams all over. Social services got worried till I referred them to your account of the law. All the best and generally thank you.
Bunch of complete disgusting clowns…….they really hate our country 🤬
Thank you for continuing to discuss this issue and raise awareness of a terrible idea
Is this going to be applied to all the Islamic schools in the UK?
I have my doubts.......
Of course not.
That is a very good question.
And Jewish schools?
Very good point, let’s find out
Another fantastic video. I can't believe Starmer is going through with this, it's too late for him to back down.
It's bizarre that children will be charged vat for their education in a private facility, but adults won't.
Nothing g that Starmer and co have done, or will do, is logical or common sense.
Bizarre until you realise it’s a Liebour “strategy” and then it suddenly makes sense 😂
@@fujivato indeed. this will help conservatives win the next election who in turn will help with liebours reelection afterwards. they will say look how terrible the conservatives have been, you must vote for us or they will get back in. always the same old game. we can predict right now the conservatives will mess with the state schools finances.VAT on school dinners perhaps or free beer in top universites.
@@catkin-z8g yep and the cycle will continue 😂
From afar, UK education looks chaotic as hell.
This whole thing is very unfair and genuinely the politics of envy.
Brilliant post BBB, have shared on X
How can you get rid of this perfidious government?
not by "storming the gates"
By voting in the next perfidious government.
What nasty government this is.
It's a marvelous government for all these countries they send millions of foreign aid to no wonder we have to pay so much tax
Should we expect anything different from this incompetent government. They discriminate one way or another.
What about serving members of our military services, serving overseas ,&so they send their children to boarding school in the UK. How are they supposed to afford this ridiculous idea?
This should be incendiary to the Churches who provide much private education. e.g. Catholics, Anglican, even Muslim. Playing with fire.
To stop people trying to get their children the best education they cam is despicable. I have no issue with people who have done well passing this on tfor the benifit in many way to help all of us! It is like imposing the lowest common denominator not encouraging the highest
All those Old Etonians who have been [expletive deleted] the rest of us these last 14 years are keen to preserve their privilege of course. One person's helping-hand to their poor starving kids ... ok yah. We need less of the societal distortions, in an ideal world it would be just the top slice of so-called educational excellence (for the super-rich) who were targeted. They can afford it
I was lucky enough to attend a grammar school back in 1972 that turned into a private school whilst I was there. Like Starmer, my remaining time at that school was free of charge to my parents. I have one son and we are not rich - we still decided to give him a private education and he is now attending a great university in Edinburgh. The current government really don’t seem to like people doing the best for their children and I despair at what will happen at each budget over the next 4 years.
Keep the stupid seems to be the model they're working on. If you don't know, you cannot question.
They don't want children in a private Ed because they want to indoctrinate your children into everything on their list - wokeness, DEI, gender, climate etc etc.
They do not want your children questioning things or thinking for themselves (which they will do in private Ed).
It’s nothing but discrimination!! They’re just getting at the rich people who are generally bright enough not to vote labour!!!
I was a normal office worker and my wife was an admin assistant but we sent our son to a fee-paying school! We could ill-afford it but we got by and considered our son's education was paramount for his future.
I work with many private schools that offer services to other state schools that the local authority cannot. Sports pitches, swimming pools, gyms, workshops during holidays. Private schools are not a closed system for the richest. They must get paid for these services I'm sure charging vat to other schools would be required.
There is even a certain school where parents donate to help local community children to obtain school spaces for those that wouldn't ordinarily be able to attend.
Rich people will continue to send their children.

If a private school provides assistance to a state school, that part of its expenditure can be classified as charitable. But classifying ALL fees as a charitable donation when the vast majority gets spent on the education of the children of the relatively wealthy parents is plainly ridiculous.
Parents buy that education to obtain an education far in excess of that provided by state schools. That is definitely not charity. It is an attempt at muddying the waters.
That does not, in itself, answer the question of imposing VAT on private schools, but it does knock away that particular argument.
yes, playing fields of state-sector schools have been sold off all over the country by cash-strapped councils. Due to Conservative "selling the family silver" policies to reduce taxes on the rich, no doubt. Those private schools using their extravagantly-well-endowed facilities will no doubt be able to use the demand from the hobbled state sector to keep a lid on the cost to them of running these facilities mainly for their regular customers. "Private schools are not a closed system for the richest." - sure as heck not set up for the masses. A nice PR win for them to appear to be helping the great unwashed. Preferably at minimal cost. Good for the regular paid-for lot to have some controlled contact with real people's kids, help them to rule later on in life

@@daffyduk77selling the families silver is one thing, but it was Labour than sold the nations gold, dismantled the grammar school system, introduced fees for universities and created such a comfortable safety net of benefits a whole generation grew up with no ambition to work. Now we see a stagnation in GDP and huge national debt. But it’s all the Tory’s fault. The problem is, both parties are useless, and attempting to justify that Labour are good or competent on the basis that the previous government were bad makes no sense.
Selecting an age is as discriminatory as a race or religion, but this is a common fault in our law. The standard of 'reasonableness' to defend an unreasonable, unjustified position.
Labour was on the sidelines for 14 years. You would’ve thought they would run their ideas by some people and asked for comments.
Back in the 1960s my brother excelled academically at primary school. After sitting the entrance exam for a private school he was awarded a bursary/grant to help pay for the school fees. My parents still had to pay for his books (bought second hand), very expensive uniform and travel expenses. This was a huge sacrifice for my parents who were just hard working factory workers but they thought it was worth it to help him have the best education. We were brought up in the tenements of the east end of Glasgow so we certainly were not well off but my parents believed children's education was very important. Just a pity this government doesn't place the same importance on it whether the parents are rich or poor.
