Really? Where did anyone say any of that? You really are incapable of comprehending the English language, aren't you. Your pathetic ad hominem attacks won't work, either. To summarise, and speaking for myself only. Do I, personally, understand parents doing anything in otheir power to give their kids a 'better' start in life? Of course I do, I'm a father and a grandfather. Would I have paid for private education for that reason? I genuinely don't know, I would've had lots of thinking to do. The end result of generations of sending kids to private education is exemplified by the fekkers currently in power at WM. Would I pay for private health care for me or my family? If it was life threatening, in a heartbeat. However, those are subjective views. Looking at things objectively (that means looking at the bigger picture, oaky, I know you struggle with these things) then I firmly believe that taking away the opportunity to buy these things and jump the queue (there's the important bit) because you're financially well off is just wrong. If that makes me a 'plastic lefty' rather than a Peter Weir then so be it, I can live with that.
