Gee. I wonder why this is going on.

More than 70,000 people will move home this year in order to get a child into a particular school, research suggests.


Some 4% of people moving or planning a move between April and September said it was to ensure they lived in the catchment area of a particular school.

The most common reason for moving - for 23% - was a desire for a larger home, while 13% were downsizing and 10% said they were moving because of a job.

Over 2,000 homeowners were questioned in April for Sainsbury's Bank.

Parents in the Midlands were most likely to move to fall within a school catchment area - the figure reached 6% in that region, compared with 4% in southern England and 1% in northern England and Scotland.

The study also found people were prepared to pay a premium of up to 10% for a home in a good school's catchment area.

"Our findings underline parents' determination to secure a good school for their children," said Sainsbury's Bank home insurance manager Robert O'May. Three per cent of people said their move was to a home with a garden, and a similar proportion were moving from the city to the country.

But why would these reactionary parents try to schelter their offsprings from the blessings of multiracial classrooms? Someone needs to make some more laws to prevent this stuff from happening.

Diversity is great until it comes to your neighbourhood.

TV diversity is the best form, that really makes the proud democratic fathers of our nation thump their chests.

Maybe, and in relation to that weird Spanish judge, we could condemn these "one-worlders" to community work in the Ghettos.

Those responsible for "integration" should be executed as ones responsible for countless cases of human suffering. Those who support "integration" must be made to become integrated and integrate their offspring pronto.

Humans and animals don't mix.
