and of course that creates another housing bubble with rising prices round the prestigious schools.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Getting rid of the Anglo Disease tax finance (4.00 / 2)

Nope. We abolished the system of kids going to school in the closest school some years ago. Now those who have the highest grades go to their schools of choice. That only applies to lycée (when you're 16-18), but anyway...

And really... the best school I went to was when I was 16-18. It was an inner city school with great reputation, long history, and so on. So was the most horrible school I went to, when I was 7-11 years old. And the semi-good one, when I was 12-15.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
