I Had Or Have To Wear A School Uniform

Parents in the UK are being ripped-off by being forced to buy over-priced, often poor quality, school uniforms from schools or school approved suppliers. Some impoverished families have to choose between buying food or buying a school uniform - so their children can make use of a, so-called, "free" public service.

This is an intolerable state of affairs that must not be allowed to continue. I implore all UK citizens to sign the petition to abolish school uniforms once and for all.

The petition is here -

Other countries manage very well, in most cases better, without school uniforms, there's no reason the UK shouldn't do just as well.

It cost a neighbour nearly £600 to kit her son out for secondary school last September. Everything had to be bought from the school's approved supplier at vastly inflated prices. It was a serious struggle for the family, necessitating cutting back on food and heating. Headteachers, on ridiculously inflated salaries, don't give a damn about the suffering they inflict.

@Lynda70 That's about average according to the figures I've seen.
