TORY leader David Cameron threatened a massive new era of English schools privatisation yesterday under cover of a “zero-tolerance” approach to academic failure.

In a policy speech in the north London borough of Enfield the Prime Minister said that he wanted to give “every child the best start in life.”

The key to this, he claimed, was “rigour,” “discipline,” “zero tolerance for failure” — and plans to turn thousands of schools into privately run academies.
