IN Britain freedom of choice is something to be cherished and nurtured, a liberty not available to all in the world.

Therefore, parents who having paid their taxes to the Government, including in which are contributions to state education costs, decide to pay for private schooling, so be it.

That is their choice.

Only our left wing politicians, led by Jeremy Corbyn and crew with their autocratic, idealogical, warped, envious desire to control everything, ultimately denying any choice, could wish to penalise further parents who make this decision.
