The post you are reporting:
Is it not more reasonable to say that children should be given a good education and training Roger, rather than imply that it is for them to somehow engineer this for themselves.
Even if it were true that the vast majority, nay, the simple majority, of young people unemployed today had a history of skipping school could it be their, rather than we - the adult voting population, that were the architects of their miserable situation?
Arranging matters education has been a responsibility of Governments for about a hundred years or more and it is being done today in much the same way (or it will be again, if Gove gets his way) that it was these last forty years. Yet we 'knowingly' live in a world much purposefully altered and managed away from the manufacturing and industry of the past and still we (the adult. voting population) sit by watching and applauding the sole focus of all education and training being directed to the few A* exam-passing pupils that leaves the majority to rot, and apparently we, when time permits, blame them.
Oh well, while 'we' starve them into work that isn't there perhaps a burger or two will make it from the grill to the customer un-nibbled by the low-paid, zero-houred waifs and strays, but, certainly if they happen to vote Tory (or New Labour) themselves the failure of successive Governments shall be complete. Turkeys voting for Christmas.
Luckily Apprenticeships are on the up...for the shelves wont stack themselves.
