@LucyMPowell @bbc5live As with most opposed to grammar schools, he relies on the data from the small, besieged rump that remain.

People can't reasonably recuse themselves from important debates based on where they went to school, Julia. Where would it end?
-
Btw, I see you've now switched to criticising him for having gone to grammar school. So did I. It's not relevant.

Anyone who went to a Private School should be disqualified from talking about Grammar schools
-
apparently it was actually a direct grant grammar school. So he got there based on his 11plus exam, and no fees.
-
Ok then he's qualified to speak - still wrong though!
-
i might be wrong. Depends whether he attended before or after it changed to private. But why can't he have opinion?
-
He can bt I'm wary of those who would stop ppl who can't pay giving their kids what they had. Grammars work for bright poor

Not sure where the 'rich' bit comes in? I would've been down for a Grammar school but we didn't have two pennies to rub together.

Many Kent parents are opposed to grammar schools because our children go to secondary modern schools. We much prefer comps.
