Fourteen schools in Bristol voted on how to spend £5m.
The options were:
1) Spread cash based on the number of pupils each school has.
2) Maximise money for disadvantaged children.
The only three schools to vote against option two were faith schools.

Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030
The ruling falls well short of a 59% bills hike requested by the troubled water company, as it tries to secure a bailout from investors.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS – one fifth of budget goes to it.
Privatised services treat 10% of patients, 3% in 2011.
59,000 private contracts in the NHS.
30%-40% of money vanishes in profits, longer queues persist.
End privatisation.

-the few that are, can avoid IHT with 7 year rule
-the real villains are Clarkson & Dyson who invest in farmland to dodge taxes
