Brilliant.
And I meant that sarcastically.
An education secretary has sent his kids to a state secondary and because he is the first to do so then we are all meant to say "well done"
But have you seen the school he is sending his child to?
This is the link to the school

and this is the application form:

I'd LOVE to see any normal member of the public sending their kids there unless they're well off, middle class and/or religious.
Honestly the hypocrisy is breathtaking.
His wife in this article
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics ... 70141.html
is slagging off parents for sending their kids private as though she's made some kind of statement by selecting state when its about the safrest education option in London.
We can't get our kids into decent state schools if we want to, we can't afford private schools if we can't and now bloody wives of education secretaries are issuing statements like they're some kind of social genius because they choose one of the UK's best state school.
Shows just how little politicians and their Daily Mail writing spouses really know about real people
