Will Free Schools improve state education?

I'm still trying to work out why the govt cancelled BSF funding yet will fund Free Schools?
I want to 'get' the 'free schools' thing but at the moment I'm a bit of a cynic regarding this.. this article adds further doubt..and I feel not an example of the 'Big Society' as they may want us to believe.

Allegedly schools that are able to act more independently produce better results. Independent of what?. Surely they'll still be regulated, still follow the same curriculum?.. No?.
Will this autonomy encourage and permit further discrimination?
Jury's out for me
