Of course private schools should pay business rates and VAT, they're fucking business. It's not rocket science. Yes, I know they're technicality charities, but they're not. That's a legal fiction. Or to put it another way, a lie. A con. By bastards.

Paint over Mickey Mouse
Burn Where the Wild Things Are
Pulverise the lego
Set fire to the Christmas tree star.
Seize all the teddies
Bury every skipping rope
Paint the walls dark brown
Abolish all hope.

Aberdeen's Principal is insulated from pain by a remuneration package of £275,000 per year.
This is 6.8 times the median remuneration of the employees he wants to hurt, though most people whose wages are being docked will be below that median.

The Titanic submarine is a modern morality tale of what happens when you have too much money, and the grotesque inequality of sympathy, attention and aid for those without it.
Migrants are “meant” to die at sea; billionaires aren’t.

People waving EU flags as a source of pride, or to mourn their own loss of privileges, have been ignoring strategic migrant drownings by the EU (by not offering safe routes) for many years. Over 30,000 documented
We have now documented more than 30,000 deaths on maritime routes to Europe since 2014. This includes 1,000➕ deaths already this year, and an unprecedented 938 recorded in the Central #Mediterranean. These figures are almost certainly an undercount of the true death toll.
ALT No one deserves to die in search of a better life.
Is the answer too much money?

I realise this is simplistic.
But encapsulated in this scene, is everything that a lot of people think the Tories are. As a piece of PR it’s such a disastrous vignette.
Classless , braying, arrogant,emotionally detached and stupid, and the least cool people in the country.
