Royal Children - Time for State school?

[microplastic]

Should the Royal Family children be educated in state schools? Why do they get to attend private schools on taxpayers money? Is this something the Labour government could push for?

But it is Labour’s right to price as many commoners out of PE as possible.

😏

Earl Mountbatten, I think.

I mean, I don't agree with the policy. But at least it is the government's right to set taxes on things in general, for everyone. By that logic we might as well set the tax to zero so even more people can afford it. Or abolish altogether. What you can't do is say these types of schools are fine and then forbid three particular kids from going to them.

What - like Trump 🤣

Yes just like Trump. 👌

There would be no need to dump parliamentary democracy and introduce a presidential system.

An elected head of state in a parliamentary democracy would have a role more like that of the President of Ireland.

Oh fuck off. Many teachers are left wing because they see the actual effects of right wing policies. We are still professionals though. I hope you home school if you don’t think we can be trusted. And you wonder why teachers are leaving in droves.

You know if someone like Trump were born eldest child of the monarch we’d be stuck with him, yes? It’s 8n,y chance we don’t have Andrew.

Terrorists didn't want to kill his children.

YABU. It’s none of your business what they choose to spend their money on.

The sovereign grant only pays for official duties. NOT the kids’ schooling. They make money off land and other investments etc so no skin of my back or any other taxpayer.

The point is, he was elected. People make strange choices.

No the point is, he can be voted out.

How did they acquire the land?

It wasn't them...it was the people living centuries ago.

Time for VAT in private healthcare too, or just make everyone use the NHS.

Both NHS and state education being crushed by defunding, but if we’re going with ideology rather than pragmatism should shove all adults and children into state provision.

Pragmatism would suggest re-funding both NHS and education before pushing extra loads their way.

But they get to take the money and call it theirs?

Hahaha ha what a ridiculous suggestion.

I don't think we should have a Royal Family, but since we do, I think the only option is to educate the children privately, or at an extremely selective type of state school. They'd be fish out of water in the average state school; their lives are so far removed from the typical schoolchild, they'd struggle to make friends and probably be badly bullied.

Our elected politicians send their kids to public school - Sunak, Johnson, Cameron, Blair so being elected makes no difference.

Their schooling is not paid for by the taxpayer. The Prince of Wales’ personal expenses are covered by his net income after tax from the Duchy of Cornwall. Only his working and office costs are paid for by the taxpayer, via the Civil List.

Lol the civil list hasn't been a thing for over a decade, since 2011.

And kier starmer's children?
