Schools Debate: Toby Young and Fiona Millar (3/3)

As an old-fashioned socialist, she believes secondary education is best left to the state, whereas I believe the market — or some combination of the state and the market — will do a better job.

What a nasty piece of work Fiona Millar is. Scarcely a day passes without her launching a vicious personal attack on someone -- a style of politics she no doubt learned from her partner, Alastair Campbell

I'd like to think that having lost their campaign to prevent the West London Free School from being set up, these Left-wing nutters would retire gracefully from the field of battle. But no. Not a chance

The tragic thing about Fiona is that she is a defender of a system of state education that has only ever existed in her imagination. The Stalinist model she campaigns for, in which people have no choice but to send their children to the nearest "bog-standard comprehensive", has never found favour with the British public and never will.
