When Eton College gave Farage a platform, what did they think was going to happen?

Boys directed racist & misogynistic abuse at state school students invited to join them for a speech by Nigel Farage

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… #Eton boys ‘sanctioned’ by a school that saw fit to offer hospitality and a platform to Farage and thereby, predictably, exposed state school children (Eton’s guests) to racist and misogynistic abuse

started the day studying @MagnumPhotos . Here's a brief thread >

on the history & gaze of @MagnumPhotos by @johnedwinmason 1/ For many years @MagnumPhotos has made money from outing abused children as “child prostitutes” — names, towns, recognisable locations.
Some prize-winning images are child porn site faves.

Thank you @duckrabbitblog for exposing this > 2/

What’s going on with schools in England?

How come so many academy schools controllers are super-rich supporters of #Brexit, #BorisJohnson & Michael #Gove?

I’ve been investigating with @warwickmansell
Here’s what we’ve found:
opendemocracy.net/en/shine-a-lig… 2/
One man, aged 77, controls schools for 36,000 children. Philip Harris, worth £300m, has heavily funded the Tories. When he dies, control of “his” schools passes to his wife & sons. These are state-funded schools with no local democractic accountability.
