A LEADING Labour politician when asked why she had enrolled her son at a very expensive private school replied: “A mother must choose what is best for her children.”

Whan asked why her party wished to deny this opportunity to everyone else, the politician replied: “It would create a diversive society.”

Labour’s old mantra - education, education, education - has been replaced by hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy.

Do as we say, not as we do.
