Is it worth the £50million cost to commemorate a war that started 100 years ago?
/// In a major speech in November setting out his ambitions for the centenary, David Cameron revealed two pupils and a teacher from every state secondary school will be given the chance to visit the great battlefields, such as the Somme, Verdun and Fromelles, and take part in remembrance ceremonies on the Western Front. ///
How will the pupils be selected, will it be on a certain achievement basis, showing no attention to ethnicity?
I ask this because in equality photos such as this one, pupils of Far Eastern origin always seem to be missing from such photo shoots, how can that be fair?

Why and how is it obvious that "they" have gone down "that path", aog? What races do you see in the picture? Is it two white, three black, or one white , two black, two Indians, or what? If that photo is in the original Imperial Museum, in Lambeth , a random selection would produce any combination. There aren't many Chinese in the area.
The premiss, corbyloon, is that photos of schoolchildren with the Prime Minister are carefully arranged so that all races (except from the far east; shome mistake surely? Ed) are visibly and clearly represented in a group of 5 children, all from the same school, isn't it ?. The school is apparently from Lambeth or the immediate area, not that any school in inner London would be much different. A moment's thought would show that a random selection would produce that result. A moment's thought is not always applied on this site, the more so if the writer is swayed by their own beliefs. The kind of person who is shocked by schools having large numbers of non-white British might, curiously, be unable to see that no choosing is necessary.
/// I am surprised there was no complaint about the white ethnic Britons being under represented in the photo. ///
What just like there was because there wasn't any black actors in Midsomer Murders?
