I would say that LBC are quite a left wing radio station. They kicked Farage out and James O'Brien is so far left it's often regarded as comical. So I find it quite strange that they contacted you, Simon as although you have a reputation for home schooling, you are far better known for "right wing" views such as being a race realist. I wonder what their motive was.

O'Brien was privately educated and still gets a little, very little, sensation in the trouser department about VAT on school fees. His one track schtick went out of date a decade or more ago.

I was Schooled in the 50’s and 60’s, some times the classes were as many as 40, or though rare. More often they were 30 ish. Of course, then, the Teachers were proper Teachers not stand-ins!

No, there has never been any law in Britain which says that you must send your children to school!
