When you say “my parents worked hard to give me a good education” you’re saying two things. • State education, which I am in charge of, is bad and should be avoided at all costs. • If you’re a parent who can’t afford to do that, you aren’t working hard enough for your kids.

On the whole "Britain sucks, Americans are so rich they can earn $75k as a fast food manager in rural Texas" thing. Yes it's instructive in some ways, but you could go and earn £65k as an Aldi store manager in Lincolnshire and buy a nice big cheap house there. But do you? No.
