Tax on school fees

of course it won’t affect the really wealthy but we have three kids at private school and we are now going to withdraw them all. We will see them through the remainder of this school year and from September we have secured places at local state schools. When the alternative is free why would we carry on drawing down on our mortgage and sacrificing holidays and be taxed for doing so. Let the state pay.

No my dear. You don't decide who scrolls, posts or whatever. It's an open forum not an echo chamber.

Of course it is but I'm not the one sitting and complaining 🙈
FYI you were the one complaining about repetitive posts so it's rich to say to me that I'm trying to police what you say!

Who do you think you are to say who can comment or not? Someone is very, very deluded indeed. Now bore off.

Huh? You've literally just told @twistyizzy that she shouldn't be complaining about Labour.

Who do you think you are to say who can comment or not?

Equally Prima it’s really not for you to question who is capable of multitasking by working and posting here.
Lets stop policing people and leave MNs to comment as and when they wish.

I can question whatever I wish thank you. Are you a prefect? 😂

So you can question posters but no-one can question you?
Okay then

Observations are different from questioning. Maybe you could get yourself a new hobby?

PrimativoZinfandel · 09/01/2025 19:45

I have my suspicions too. Advance search is very useful.

God I haven't got time with the hobbies I've already got!
You are using semantics now and obviously have nothing further of value to add other than petty jibes at various posters so maybe it's not me who needs a hobby

What I post is accurate. Can you say the same?

All you’re posting is comments about people posting.
This thread isn’t about MNs posting it’s about The Tax on School Fees.

Well just consider it a bit of a diversion from your cheesy GIFs

This can't be real because state school admissions don't work like that.

And please don't use the word "sacrifice" in this context.

SavingTheBestTillLast · 09/01/2025 22:05

Sacrifice means ‘giving up something valued for the sake of other considerations’
so
@CheekyUser is quite right if they value a holiday

oops should have tagged @CurlewKate
