Tell them to use the state system and save all that lovely money. It's only kids right?
I assume they decided the cost was worth it originally when choosing to educate the kids privately?
On a serious note, remember to tell all your (non Tory) friends to register, if ID is a problem tell them to get a postal vote, this can either be posted or dropped at the polling venues on the day.

if ID is a problem
Postal vote does work obviously, but there is another option that's also free:

Not sure how long it takes but applying now should easily have enough time before July 4th.

I commented in whatsapp to a friend of mine that the election will fall on their birthday.
They are a Tory voter with kids in private school.
Their response was "oh great, the day that life gets twenty percent less affordable."
It makes me so angry.
a) It is merely that a luxury service will now (rightly and not by nearly enough in my view) increase in price, due to a tax loophole being removed. If this now prices said friend out of the market, then they will join the vast majority of members of this nation who are not in the wealthy minority. Suck it up.
b) what about all of the Tory policies that have made life so unaffordable for so many?
c) what about all of the Tory mistakes that have made life so unaffordable for so many?
d) the labour manifesto and policy comes with fair warning and sign posting, unlike b and c above,
e) the money raised by charging VAT on private schools, goes to make a decent standard of living possible / affordable for tax payers. Of whom they are one.
I fucking struggle with having a Tory friend. It's so Orwellian to both like and totally disrespect someone simultaneously.
