The minster's son and the public interest

I have bad news for Ruth Kelly. She is set to refer the Daily Mirror to the Press Complaints Commission over its story about her son's schooling. I have news for you Ms. Kelly. When the former Education Secretary, who is still part of the government, takes responsibility for her children's education, irrespective of the reason, out of the public sector and puts it into the hands of the private sector at a cost of £15,000 per annum she is saying that public sector education is not good enough for her children and therefore, by inference, for anyone else.

I'm sorry Ms. Kelly but this story is very much in the public interest. I am certain that the PCC will agree with me.
