      So his dad can get a job after being long term unemployed, but he can't? kudos to his old man.

      I'm sure the army would take him, if he could be arsed, which clearly he can't!!

        "Everything that's in the newspaper, you need qualifications."

        And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          Many many of the girls at my son's comp school have ambition to work in childcare or beauty.

            Its the price we pay for not having any manufacturing to absorb the not so clever.
            Not everyone can be a knowledge worker you know.
            Hard Brexit now!

                Modern European manufacturing facilities employ very few thick people. You need qualifications, as the useless numpty said.

                    So what do you do with the lumpen proletariat then?
                    Contrary to popular opinion we don't have more of them than other countries, you know.
                    It's just that ours are particularly poorly educated and feral so they get noticed more.
                    Hard Brexit now!
