I wonder why you just quoted a few statements and didn't provide a link :facepalm:

If you actually read beyond the Telegraph's normal tirade for the terminally naive, you'll find the actual story

The mother, who asked not to be named, had applied for a place at two schools via the council’s online portal amid fears she could be priced out of her daughter’s private school by the Government’s VAT raid. The email from Buckinghamshire council said: “Unfortunately we cannot offer any places at your preferred school/s as they are full”.

The email continued: “In this circumstance, we would normally advocate that [the child] should remain at their current school. However, if you can provide evidence that you can no longer finance the independent school fees, please advise and we can make a local authority non-preference allocation.”

Pretty standard stuff for anyone wanting to move schools mid year :shrug:
It's almost as if 'the mother, who asked not to be named' and provides such an important story in The Telegraph is of the view that she deserves special treatment.

oh...abuse people you say...?

You are comfortably the most abusive poster on NSC to anyone who doesn't follow your beliefs.

You are an abusive poster.

You have an unpleasant personna.

You are a sad individual...who even more surprising has a long suffering wife as well.

Crack on...do you worst. You have plenty of experience in this matter, but rest assured, the readers of this forum will look down upon you, just as I do.
what are you so upset about?

It's funny because WZ will take the piss out of people, fair enough, but CJD is often outright abusive as shown in that post.

I do take the piss and probably too much at times, but the irony of that little exchange was that I have no idea who @cjd is and my initial post was completely genuine.

He posted about the problems of going from employed to retired and 'on the scrap heap' wanting to find something to keep him occupied. It's a situation I found myself in 15 years ago and simply wanted to try and help. I also retired too early and had to find something completely different to do to keep me occupied.

Even after the first abusive reply, i still tried to respond in good faith, but after three abusive replies I just decided to leave it and won't engage again :shrug:
