Do you agree with not having school badges on uniforms, if it makes them cheaper?

The King opened Parliament last week with a speech that spelled out Labour’s plans for the country, now that the party is in power.
The highlights involved giving police more power to tackle illegal immigration and anti-social behaviour, plus punishments for badly-performing railway services and water companies that pollute the environment.
But what’s planned for kids? Here are three things that affect you:
Free breakfasts
The Children’s Wellbeing Bill promises free breakfast clubs for every primary school in England. It will also limit the number of branded items that a school can insist on having in its school uniform, which will make uniforms cheaper to buy.
More teachers
Some parents will have to pay more to send their children to private schools. The extra tax will give the government the money to hire 6,500 more teachers in England.
No smoking!
Labour is sticking with the Conservatives’ plans to ban the sale of cigarettes for anyone born after 2009, to create the UK’s first smoke-free generation.

I disagree with both Labour and the Conservatives about smoking! By saying this, I'm not promoting smoking; it's that people born before 2009 still get to do it?!? That's so unfair! I would be saying this even if it wasn't about smoking. It's just as dangerous for them (or perhaps even more) as it is for us! I wouldn't mind if absolutely everyone was banned!
