That is LITERALLY the point of it. The oiks go to oik school and then down the mines or into the mills and the upper class go to a propper school and then into politics.
Thank you so much for liking my comment, Matt, and I'm sorry that it contradicts your comic intent, but I needed to express how I feel about my most pressing concerns. But then again, sometimes mockery really is the most powerful form of exposition. Great work! Thank you more than ever.
I doubt a Tory could think that fast. There are none in the current Cabinet who can even string a sentence together, they all use, Eeeers and Ummmhs, in order that their brains can catch up with the last word spoken. But, once again, BRILLIANT, Cue starburst fireworks. 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
Since charitable status loses the govt 1.7 billion a year, and the rich are against removing charitable status, we should just hike their income tax up by a couple of percentage points to make up the shortfall?
😂😂😂 'Because they do a lot of charitable work. They provide this country with most of our top judges and politicians and journalists for a start. That's got to be worth a few quid in the tin.'
I seem to recall someone saying that the upper classes so love their children that they send them away to board school at the age of 5. Another video that cuts to the heart of the matter, Matt.
I taught in one of those boarding schools for small children. The psychological damage achieved by the parents is truly horrifying. Alas, some of those parents truly believed they were doing ‘the right thing’ for their children, but for many, children were just ornaments to be displayed on Special occasions, and put away when not needed.
I am finding it more often that I laugh... to sadness when I watch your videos. I love it... but I go "Hahahaahahaa.aa.a...a....a.......a.......SAD" LOL Keep up the great work!
Funny but also so sad. In Finland all schools gets the same amount of money per pupil and they are not allowed to take outside money from the parents or companies. Education is free for everyone and every pupil gets a free meal every day. Btw the school food is healthy and delicious 😋 Nowadays they don’t even have homework 🤔 We did 😱
@@davidlynch9049 But what is the true cost for both countries? UK has lower taxes but poorer schools and health system which drags down economic growth and therefore society as a whole. And we just have to pay for everything anyway, on top of our taxes. Finland may have a higher marginal rate of tax BUT a properly functioning education & health system so economy as a whole is bigger so everyone in society does well. And people don't have to pay for services on top of their taxes.
You nailed it, it’s fighting just how many of the worst and least effective pm’s over the last 100 years were from eton. Let them persist if that’s what people want, just ban their output from public office and if 7% of the population were privately educated, then limit their access to all parts of the echonomy and society to 7% .
@Don Doodat Starmer went back on essentially every promise he made. He is a blairite through and through and if he is elected all you will be getting is light Tory government.
Do you want to tax education or not? Private schools - pre school nurseries - university fees - music teachers - after school clubs - sports clubs - driving lessons - HGV training - College courses. Not sure which of these have VAT on or not but essentially should be the same rule for all of them as they all require parents/users to pay extra and not everyone has the same access.
If they did get rid of the bishops, what are they going to do with all the robes? Sell them on eBay? I'd buy one. I'd like one of those chunky crosses too. Role playing tonight!
*I RECENTLY CHECKED* [cos I'm sad] and 100% of the British podcasters I listen to went to a private school and then Oxford... EVEN Al Murry "The Pub Landlord" - so the cheeky chappy down the pub accent is an affectation. He is a public school boy, like all of them.

Not sure what you think is ironic about that? Why does having an opinion on the charity status of private schools mean that you shouldn't ask people to pay you if they enjoy your work? Do you think everyone who makes content is "begging"? Charity status is a government tax break for organisations. I think it's very reasonable to question whether private schools should benefit from that.
EXC: Labour’s pledge to abolish the Lords is set to be watered down in favour of “reform” after an eleventh hour row between Gordon Brown and Starmer aides Well that didn't last long.
@Don Doodat Well, the question is whether it’d still be true if the foreign students suddenly have to pay 20% more. It’s a highly competitive global market. I know for some it’s a matter of principle, and I’m sure some students would still be willing to pay, but it’s worth thinking about.
A lot of private schools have bursary schemes because ultimately a lot of these schools just want to provide a good education to any children regardless of wealth. Making them pay tax will just reduce how many poor kids can make it into these schools, exacerbating the problem, not solving it.
@@corvus1238 Agreed. They are commercial companies with some pseudo "charity" tacked on. Stick the odd working class oik in with a bursary, which is of marginal economic value and avoid tax - and therefore commercial tax avoidance for the rich.
Having Bishops in parliament is tricky, they keep on blocking the corridors because they can only walk in diagonal lines.
Excellent haha!
🙄🤦♂️😂
Stop bashing the Bishop
Brroom-tush!! 😂
Took me a while
"worked hard for those inheritances" made me snort
Brilliant line!
Just as a Finn, can I say that making tertirary education payble was always your most ridiculously class-society policy.
That is LITERALLY the point of it. The oiks go to oik school and then down the mines or into the mills and the upper class go to a propper school and then into politics.
Thatcher tory policy. Disgusting.
"And all of our worst?"
Touchée!
Perfect. Nailed the issue in 2mins of comedy. Keep up the important work!
Absolutely brilliant. Truth delivered through humour.
My father went to a private school. Did not make him a better person. Also it was nonsense.
"we worked hard for our inheritance" says it all in one poignant sentence.
Unfortunately, (for ordinary people) this is far too realistic to be comedic.
Excellent cutting input none the less, thank you Matt.

It was brilliant.

On producing the best PMs and 'all of the worst ones', tbf Liz Truss didn't go to a private school did she? Not that I disagree overall!
Haha - tbh I did actually have that thought whilst editing but didn’t have time to redo it…

Abolishing charitable status for private schools as a topic on a video used to beg for money. Ahhhhhhh, that's how I like my irony.
