will we ever stop subsidising these scroungers ?
Will we ever create a society with suitable jobs for all, instead of excluding the "more practical" type?
There will always be a type who will do as little as they can, but if there was enough jobs to force them into, it would be better for them and us.

Thats what is happening now, honey!
Gradually squeezed until they accept a job suitable to their talents.
After all, we've already wasted around £50K (conservative estimate) on wasted education ... why should we waste any more???

If the government is pouring a fortune into education which leaves a whole section of the pupils unemployable and thick, then they need to stop throwing good money after bad and rethink it.
Gradual squeezing is no good. The longer people are on the dole the less capable of work they become.
We need to rebuild the manufacturing industry. It will probably be cheaper in the long run.

No point in employing people to work in factories just for the sake of it (we have machines to do that now).
Its up to parents to make sure their kids "buckle down" and become employable ... otherwise the parents can support them !
To throw further good money into a bottomless pit is just stupidity.

But some people are never going to be able to go to university, or have skilled jobs no matter how hard the buckle down.
They might as well be in jobs they can do, rather than be paid miserably to do nothing.
It is not a crime to be thick, yet society seems to penalise it. We need jobs to fit, and people to be encouraged to do the best they can, rather than as little as they can get away with.

Tell that to the people who want to buy stuff at Primark prices but expect Harrods wages !
"Faulty" parents produce faulty children !
If they want to knock them out - they can pay for them !
