    Everyone who voted for the conmenservethemselves, ought to be made to read this New York Times article until the day dawns when they understand what they have done. There again it would probably be easier to train trees to be nuclear physicists.

    Unlike in the US, indigenous Brits have been left uneducated and NOT KNOWING HOW TO THINK for decades, courtesy of the abolition of student grants, the relentless hiking of university fees, and unaffordable adult education.

    We are being bred to becoming a nation of peasants and chavs, with the luckiest ones trained in some sort of skill that will lock them into a minimum wage job until illness, redundancy, workfare and benefit sanctions intervene.
