There’s been a lot of talk about graduate tax – now I’m ambivalent over the proposal – mainly I fear the wealthy as often the case will avoid paying their fair share.

To my mind there are two ways to make sure the rich pay more and yes it’s a twofold attack on private schools. Private schools are over represented at our top universities – so those taking the best university places should pay more.

Now firstly let’s abolish their charitable status – as I’ve said many times there’s nothing charitable about educating rich kids.

Second is to tax on school fees with an educational supplement – if you pay for private education then you’re likely to be wealthy, can afford it and you’re kids are most likely going to have the advantage of the UK’s top universities.

I’m no economist and don’t have the figures to determine how much tax revenue might be raised – but it’s a start and is going to be paid by those of us most able to afford it.
