I reckon someone really ought to be asking the last 'lot' just what jobs they were expecting our youth to take in the future.
It was they who opened the floodgates to cheap EU labour which took many of the 'starter jobs' whilst at the same time deluding themselves that we could churn out a generation of graduates and that they'd all somehow find worthwhile and rewarding careers commensurate with their academic achievement. Adding fees into the equation was simply pouring salt on the wound they'd created and adding yet more debt burden on the young. HMG and UK PLC are now truly in between a rock and a hard place! God only knows where all this is going to end but jobs can't be created from nothing (unless you're Labour that is
) and there's nothing to stop more migrants hoovering up what jobs there are. As the parent of two teenagers I have great concern about their future in terms of education, employment, their tax burden and welfare. Still, "things can only get better" eh?
