A paragraph from the Sunday Business's opinion:

        "The dismal extent to which Labour is still in the real
        “Clause IV” dark ages on education is illustrated by the
        fact (discovered by Reform, a centrist think-tank) that, of the
        91 Labour MPs most opposed to even modest change, 75% represent
        English constituencies with exam results below the national
        average, often well below. Yet rather than do better for their
        disadvantaged constituents, they bow down before the shibboleths
        of the educational establishment and defend the indefensible
        status quo. To stupidity we can add hypocrisy: of those denying
        even minimal selection to the most disadvantaged pupils, over
        half had the privilege of selective education themselves.
        Everywhere in Britain’s education debate do you hear the sound
        of those pulling the ladder up behind them."

69 Labour MPs defend irrational demagogery and evil ideology in
preference to delivering an education system to teach children something
useful to society and to themselves.

I think these Labour MPs are the worst type of scum you can imagine.
