I think the point a lot of people are making is that there's many areas of the UK that don't have grammar schools. There's actually only 163 in England and none in my region at all. This puts kids in these areas at a disadvantage as they don't have the opportunity of attending a high performing grammar school unless they pay for it.
I work in education and I didn't even realise state grammar schools still existed until a couple of years ago.
Edit: to keep this on topic, this is obviously not Lucy's fault but it does show the inequality that's so prevalent in our education system and how where you are brought up and what school you attend can make a huge difference to your future.
