Smash School Privatisation: Hedge Fund Bank Robber Protest

Friday 26 September 2008: following the invasion of their headquarters (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Wbia2BQKk) teachers and parents loudly protested outside the Ark offices, the "charity" of Swiss/French financier and philanthropist Arpad (Arki) Busson, the most favoured sponsor of Tony Blair's Academy school system.

Academy schools are state schools taken over by private sponsors, such as religious groups and private or corporate interests.

The UK taxpayer still pays for the school, the private sponsors profit from the school, and parents and local council have no say in the running of the school. The unelected undemocratic sponsor dictates all.

@Joyriser Crime is commited at the top?

Now, for your information I donate to ARK, (Absolute Return for Kids) which is the charity run by Arpad Busson.

As a good friend of mine and someone donating over 150 million pounds a year to philanthropic causes I can tell you for a fact he is no criminal.

Exactly. Academies are run by rich fat cats and are PRIVATELY sponsored schools
