If it's aimed at young people and paid for by government chances are it's been cut/abolished.
Once again, you are forgetting whose negligence it was that we were unable to cope with the financial crisis that beset us prior to the 2010 coalition government. We are still picking up the tab for that.

So where is the money coming from to do all the things you want the NHS to pay for, all the benefits to be paid, etc? Yes, it's getting even more difficult as the oldies retire in greater numbers and the young find they have to start paying their way.

To be fair, most do, but the increase in the number of people who think the money should just land on their plates is worrying.

Anyway, one way of making more money to provide for people is for this country to increase its income. Brexit provides us with an opportunity to do that. Continued membership of the EU is steadily but slowly leading to economic stagnation, and it will get far worse with the next financial crisis.
