Who is willing to pay more in tax to fund the improvements?

Oh. And by the way, I thought that the Comprehensive system was supposed to be the answer to our education issues?
Don't know about you Lastlid but since this lot came to power I am paying more Tax. I now find myself in the 40% bracket which wouldn't be so bad if it was being spent on worthwhile things like the NHS and caring for the elderly. Instead I'm paying for the mistakes of Bankers and financial mismanagement by half the governments of the EU as well as the upkeep of tens of thousands of freeloaders who turn up on our doorstep from these very same countries
