Let's face it the Tories could not give a toss about young people, Oswanker has virtually doubled the nations debt in a desperate attempt to buy the election and those starting out on their working lives will have to foot the bill. 1. Education, earn or learn is a dilemma facing millions, a huge debt is yours for bettering yourself unlike previous generations, and under Gove education has gone backwards with even private schools now in decline, the reason? A lack of teachers put off by long hours, poor pay and rock bottom morale, the DoE own figures show that in the year up to November 2013 over 50,000 teachers left the profession, that is one in 12 the new intake did not even dent this figure, unsurprisingly more up to date figures are unavailable. Conclusion the Tories could not give a toss. 2. Housing policy, if you are young it is your duty to pay for the retirement of elderly boomers and parasitic bankers with high rents or vast mortgages secured on rabbit hutches, they are using your money to prop up house prices, pay your landlords rent and subsidize lenders with free money and dubious schemes designed to pile the risk on you. Conclusion, you are fucked because you are regarded as a debt slave. 3. And potentially the most odious with the whiff of gerrymandering about it, if you are a student you can no longer register to vote at your college or your halls of residence, instead you must have a permanent address or go through a lengthy process of form filling. Conclusion, they do not want you to vote because you wont vote for them. |

Problem is that the working class are not united or organised. They have real concerns that are not addressed. Labour is pathetic and UKIP makes noises and pretends to champion them but is like the fox in the chicken licken story. Working class people mistrust socialist ideas. The Tory propaganda was very clever, far reaching and successful. |

Ably assisted by press barons, and that really is something that needs addressing, there can be no free press until it is. |

I found this programme regarding statistics as produced by those that wish to portray a certain picture most interesting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b050c4sj#auto It certainly makes one smile when one hears what is supposed to be true but turns out to be the opposite. |

Totally agree PS, they are the nastiest, most horrid and right wing Tory Party we have had for many a year. I hope that one day soon these fascists get their comeuppance. |

There is a big difference between data and statistics. |

Using your metric then all who cannot live from savings and therefore must find paid work are therefore "working class". Novel, but not a definition that serious commentators or social scientists would find of any use. |

Heads on a pole springs to mind. It would sure enough prevent the bar stewards from trying it again. |

Balderbollocks! I look like a working class person, I sound like a working class person, the only time I wear a suit and tie is if someone is getting married or has died, I hate golf, I despise pomposity and pretence and you would not catch me trying to pretend I was posh or middle class, unfortunately if you are working class that is supposed to mean you are lazy, very thick and completely lack ambition, so millions of people with identical backgrounds to me try and pretend they are middle class. Not me mush! File under beat up the missus do the pools and respect the royal family (don't buy plates or plaques with the royals on they ain't an investment and they will still be worth fack all in thirty years) |

The working class can kiss my arse. I've got the foreman's job at last. Is supposed to be a joke at working boys who cross the great divide and become management. Working class is obvious to working class people. To snobs and social climbers, not so much. |

No need to wipe your feet when you enter the forum, no need to curtsey either.
