Perhaps we should all behave like New Labour and pretend that everyone can go to University ? Or shall we just refer to them as educationally retarded ? The real reason that there are so many young unemployed is that they are unemployable ! if you had left it to conservatives there would be few universities as they believe everyone should stay in their place. Labour Party policy was always not that everyone went to university...but that everyone who wanted to go had the opportunity. Fuck knows what Nu Labour wanted..they aren't old Labour. They are Thatcherites.

Whose fault is that? Should we slow down progress? Just because we needed people to do menial jobs years ago (after we had spent vast amounts on their "education") doesn't mean we have to do it today. People are given every opportunity at school ... it is their fault that they do not take full advantage of it. (PS The 2nd part of your post is just ridiculous !) it's a combined fault of many not facing the future. Schools have turned into child minding centres teaching few skills that will be needed in the future. smartest people at present are plumbers, electricians..trades needed for decades to come.

You think these people are educationally advanced ? .... or thickies ? Neither. BTW it's spelt "In the know". No need for the capitals. Oh dear tis all becoming clear dear.
