The problem I have with so called socialists is that they seem to be stuck in a kind of time warp..consider this statement from a previous post.."The rich who all got that way by exploiting the poor" What a pompus and self-righteous geberalization that is...not to mention outdated. We now live in a society where hard work will often reap great benefits. As for an MP sending a child to private school...so what. We all have freedom of choice..socialists seem to believe that we do not, we must all adhere to some strict political dictum..even down to the education of one's own child. There is a lot of hipocrisy in this thread as far as I can se.
