Kids wearing Canada Goose jackets to school deserve to be bullied if anything.

The school are absolutely right, though.

A guy in my class was mercilessly picked on because he was poor. Horrific to witness.

There's a big difference between helping the poor and targeting the rich.

This ban is just standard leftist resentment of folk with money. Also see your own 'deserved to be bullied' comment.

Do some people get the impression that some parents deliberately dressed them in shite like four/two stripes and other branded knock offs just for a laugh, knowing full well that they’d get a bit of a ribbing about it?

Yes. Why else would you buy a pair of “Mikes”?

A lot of parents do take the 'I'm not paying that for a jacket' attitude when they can afford it. They might be right in their opinion that it's a ripoff, not passing any judgement, but plenty of kids wearing uncool stuff have parents who can afford designer names but choose not to. 

My parents also used to tell me they couldn't afford SKY but once I got older I realised they could but chose not to prioritise it. That they helped me buy a house is a small comfort, making up for not seeing Kane fighting The Undertaker in his prime.

My boy goes to a private school and I'd probably be cheaper kitting him out head to toe in Stone Island gear than buying his uniforms from the school shop. The thieving c***s. 

Not long before I left high school, the head teacher drove in the blazer policy. This was around 2005/6, the peak of the Young Team era where Berghaus and assorted European football clubs tracksuits were the uniform of choice. I remember the blazer costing about £40 and it was just a box standard black blazer  with the school badge glued on that you could peel off. It was an initiative I agreed with but it was another expanse for shite quality mandatory uniform.

My parents... helped me buy a house

Surprised you're a sponger who accepts handouts from mummy tbh.

My nippers are getting f**k all, booted out at 18 with a hug and a "Good luck, kick arse!".

When I was about 13 my mum got me a lovely red and yellow jacket that must have cost her about £100 for my bday. I was quite short and had glasses back then so it wasn’t the most ideal of colour choices as not before long I was getting called noddy by the older kids at school. Rather than tell my mum I didn’t like the jacket I just wore it when leaving the house and then stuck it in my bag when I got on the bus and got wet if it rained.

On the “What do you think other posters look like?” thread I’d posted this in relation to throbber. Spookily accurate:
