And yet, they’re called “private” rather than “subsidised” schools. That’s the most bizarre aspect of all.
His railing against the term ‘private’ is Quixotic.
All education is subsidised no matter where it’s carried out.
Best solution offered so far is a voucher system for each student to spend it in any way approved, even pay the parent for home schooling.
I suppose his beef is that there is a competition to the state system and as a confirmed socialist/communist he can’t have that.

Seems there are a few vacant positions on the Hezbollocks chain of command. Well done, the Israelis.
That was a sh*t walk. A dog got run over. The owner was distraught. The bloke in the car was a mess. I was a mess. The howling of that dog is ringing in my ears.
A need a pick me up.

Our wombat friend photographed near our place tonight. Very happy to have humans watching him dig for 10 minutes.
Reading Al Murray’s monumental work on the crucial day of the battle for Arnhem “Arnhem: Black Tuesday.”
Murray’s father had served as a parachute engineer in the Territorial Army, of the mid 1950’s – some of his officers had been at Arnhem, and one of his N.C.O’s had fought at the bridge itself.
“So, we went to see “A Bridge Too Far.” ‘Wrong tanks, actor’s haircuts, rotten saluting, the mischaracterization of people he knew and events he had heard about, first hand.” But I was bitten by the Battle’s bug.
Good reading – highly recommended!
NumbNuts obviously didn’t pay much attention during his time in boarding school. If he had he would have become aware of a group called the Great Public Schools.
IIRC, they played competitive Rugby Union against each other, among other things.
His research skills don’t seem to be well developed. It’s even in Wikipedia.
Reading M Steyn is depressing sometimes.
The difference between the US justice system and the erstwhile USSR system is merely cosmetic.
In a way the soviets were more open what they were on about, they declared the victim an enemy of the state and the trial was simply a confirmation of same.
How anyone can praise and celebrate the US as a whole including its justice system is beyond my comprehension. Those good people of the land have no say in how the place is run, they might think so but they don’t.
Quote from Mark
“You prove your innocence, but at the end you’re a charred, smoking lump, and so is your career and so is your savings account.” @MarkSteynOnline describes the great costs of “winning” in a court where the process is the punishment.”
And of course the small picture – Steyn’s own ongoing travails:
“.@MarkSteynOnline I didn’t think it would take four months to litigate a four-paragraph blog post. My case is now in its thirteenth year! “We are currently on our fifth trial judge-“
And the British system is as bad, or worse!
In celebration.
Magic.

Having been incommunicado for the past two days, I’m now catching up on what Minister Wong actually said at the UN General Assembly* (as opposed to what had been reported).
Unsurprisingly, apart from briefly (and with no supporting rationale of how anything might work) recommending that Israel promptly surrenders to the Iranian agenda and hopes for the best, it is an extensive and wide-ranging display of 360° twaddle and motherhoodery.
Aside from a plea for big people to stick to the rules for the benefit of little people, it’s a FIGJAM message to the world, covering off on Team Albanese’s golden triumphs in saving the climate, bringing development to the Pacific, developing a novel national energy system, and learning from our First Nations ancient knowledge of science and technology.
Oh, and a quick bollocking about the lack of female representation at the UN.
Apparently:
It would perhaps be an earnest and slightly embarrassing Year 12 debating society performance – but is profoundly cringe-making in the context of the UN General Assembly.
A string of Senate Dorothy Dixers that will be instantly forgotten around the world.
Not serious.
