1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,120
or state David starky well Once Upon a

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,160
Time the sort of school that I went to

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:11,040
which was a local grammar school was in

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,920
many ways utterly indistinguishable from

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:17,080
the middle rank public school I had the

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,640
sort of Education that boys say at Sedar

7
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:22,680
up the road or heam down the road had um

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,640
I have the same kind of extracurricular

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,679
activities I have the same sort of

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,199
enthusiasm occasionally wild

11
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:30,720
eccentricity of staff I had the same

12
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:32,800
range of subject

13
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,640
um my school made absolutely no

14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,840
difference one way or another to my

15
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,079
achievement or to how I was treated when

16
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,520
I got to Oxbridge the thing that has

17
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:45,120
made this terrible divide in our

18
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,320
education is the willful destruction of

19
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,480
excellence in the state sector that is

20
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:53,440
what compens diviz did it was done

21
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:55,920
willfully some of the motives were good

22
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,039
many of them were absolutely foul we

23
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,079
willfully destroyed our best schools in

24
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:03,600
the public sector and we've been running

25
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:06,200
behind hand ever since that is what

26
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,920
happened all right George Galloway well

27
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,040
uh if

28
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:15,080
uh if our if our state schools had the

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,400
money had the resources had the playing

30
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,960
fields uh that the uh private schools

31
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:24,200
have our state School playing fields are

32
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:25,720
almost all now sold off uh by this

33
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,240
government which knows the price of

34
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,880
everything and the value of nothing uh

35
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:35,200
then they would be many of them would be

36
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:38,320
the equal uh of private schools that we

37
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,200
perversely call public schools in our uh

38
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:44,159
language I speak all the time at the

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,880
very best uh of these private schools

40
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:51,520
where the cost to the parents is in the

41
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:55,159
case of Harrow £32,000 a year 35,000 I

42
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,000
think now at uh Eon and you can see that

43
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:59,520
the parents are getting what they are

44
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,439
paying for uh they're not paying it for

45
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,840
nothing

46
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:05,880
they have wonderful schools wonderful

47
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:09,319
teachers wonderful facilities and then I

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,520
go back to Bradford with the third worst

49
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:15,160
schools in the entire country and I can

50
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,319
see that we are not getting what we pay

51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,879
for we are being starved of the

52
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:24,879
resources and of the creativity from the

53
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:26,959
center from the state that would rescue

54
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,599
these schools and rescue these children

55
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:31,640
who are of course uh the vast majority

56
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:33,160
so so I'm very candid about this

57
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:36,560
although they might cancel my next

58
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,680
invitation to Eaton or Harrow we should

59
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,560
abolish Public Schools starting with

60
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:45,720
abolishing their charitable status it's

61
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,640
unbelievable that Eon is a charity and

62
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,760
if you give money to it you get it

63
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:52,640
deducted uh from your tax uh and uh

64
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,760
charitable status start with abolish

65
00:02:52,640 --> 00:03:00,560
want to destroy our best tools all over

66
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:03,440
again the same idiot cyle child has the

67
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,959
ever learn every child has Mantra that

68
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,319
were used you people never learn you're

69
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:11,120

00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,640
think is destroying you people like you

people FY qu F Sound and Fury signifying

74
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,360

00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,239
the worst uh schools are at the amongst

77
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,319
the worst schools in the country and

78
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:37,439
that means when they leave school their

79
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:41,080
life chances unlike you uh will not

80
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:43,920

about it and I'll tell you something for

85
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,439
nothing every child has the same right

to a good education of course

87
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:00,319
unconnected to how much money their

00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:03,400
parents have

89
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:06,959
of course Alison of course hold on a
