    I did go to a comprehensive until I was 13, so I know how it all works. You can't really compare the two, as the one brings you down, while the other pushes you up. It's a mistake to think that just because somebody has received a British education, it is one of the best the world has to offer. State education is pretty shitty everywhere, their main objective is to produce the workers.

    Fortunately I wasn't making that mistake. My comprehensive education was quite ropey, but I know of others who excelled in the same environment and became more than drones.

    School was pretty grim back in the day. I was a very bored individual in my local comprehensive, always dragged back by the pace of the slowest learners. I can't remember any teachers speaking to me outside of a classroom setting, except maybe to give me a clip around the earhole It was only being in the school football and rugby teams that bring back any happy memories, just being one of the lads and getting acknowledged by the older boys. Most of my mates ended up working in factories, and a few escaped to the civil service.

    That is how I remeber it as well, I also think parents / teachers of that age had come through the back end of the war , and achieving something in school wasn't a top priority .

    I didn't do well in school , however I had a pick of many jobs when I left , jobs were a plenty and I was never unemployed and still working hard 45 years later .

    Cameron has so much to answer for. As do the gutter press. A weak, cowardly yet arrogant leader terrified of the right wing press, UKIP and the fanatics in his own party recklessly gambled the country’s future to shore up his leadership.
    Who should pay for this Brexit mess? The Tories. They need to own this disaster and be kicked out of office for generations.

    Nonsense. The Tories have been obsessed over the EU for decades. No other party was interested in holding a Referendum. They need to own Brexit and be hammered for it.
