Class War? What Class War?

I'm amazed Mr Jones managed to keep a straight face for the photo.

He manages to simultaneously work in a claim that many parents who send their children to private schools make 'huge sacrifices' to do so while also accusing Labour of returning to 'Class War' by considering ending tax breaks (that favourite tool of oppression of revolutionary parties!).

Surely if anybody who is willing to sacrifice can make use of private school services then there is no 'class' here to be victimised. That argument only holds together if such schools really are over privileged havens for grooming the children of the rich.

Typical woolly-headed thinking from a defender of the establishment.

P.s. Happy New Year to one and all. Please consider not voting Conservative or UKIP as a potential new year's resolution.
