Class War #3

Most London councils try to move people outside borough

And so it goes on. The story told by the resident of Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea is only to be expected of a borough that thinks if you can't afford to buy your home there or pay for private education for your child, you shouldn't be living there and should send your child to another borough's schools. Nearly 170,000 people live there, a quarter in council or housing association housing yet there are only 5 state secondary schools in the borough, 3 of which are church schools. Not much choice and I guess once they cleanse the borough of so-called 'social housing' tenants they'll probably be even less.
