Had the supporters of changes to schools admissions policy actually engaged in the process of dialogue with officials and councillors they would know the one area likely to lose under any proposals (including the status quo) is Westdene.

Under current admission rules, my children would not qualify for access to either of the two "better" schools in the city.

So it is not just to accuse us of being Marie Antoinettes.

What we wish to ensure is a fair process which includes everyone, not just those who engage in the tactics of Robespierre and the mob.
