    [Albion] Potter on why he played a young team

    Because he’s on Palace’s payroll. He’s also responsible for the NSC DDoS attacks too; he even went to the bother of VPNing himself into China. There are no depths to which he won’t stoop to screw us over.

    Christmas Lights Switch On

    In Cambridge, they don’t seem to have quite decided when they’re going to be turning on the lights this year. I’ve seen 14, 15, 17, and 18 November as the advertised date.

    [Politics] Loony labour vote to abolish private education

    Class sizes for A levels in private schools are almost always way under 20. ~6-10, depending on school and subject is more like it. ~12-15 for GCSEs.

    The tax system is wildly inconsistent - to take one of your examples, there is no VAT on buying a house. However, I do think that private school fees should be VATable and that the charity status should be removed. I worry a bit about the fact that the latter would remove any incentive for such...

    [Politics] Loony labour vote to abolish private education

    Corbyn went to a private school until 11...when he went to a grammar school...where he got 2 ‘E’ grade A levels. I guess they may have a point - private schooling clearly didn’t work for him.
