The problem is NOT the underclass - Its to.many.piss.takers. Thieving at every level, people taking what they can get at the expense of others. Biased justice system that treats its criminals like they're at the fking spa. The decent hard working people of this country are getting SCREWED. The difference between these people and those greedy twats is morals. We might never go and steal a plasma tv because the opportunity is there but will ALWAYS be that one person who would rob you blind.
Because the New Left lacked cohesion it fell apart as a political movement. However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace' activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay' rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.
Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. They favor code words: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity.
All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism. Birth of Multiculturalism In anticipation of the revolutionary storm that would baptize the world in an inferno of red terror, leading to its rebirth as the promised land of social justice and proletarian equality-Frederich Engels wrote,
"All the...large and small nationalities are destined to perish...in the revolutionary world storm... (A general war will) wipe out all...nations, down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes...but...reactionary peoples." ("The Magyar Struggle," Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Jan. 13, 1849)
By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world's proletariat had not heeded Marx's call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong. Separately, two Marxist theorists-Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary-concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.
Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the workers class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a "long march through the culture." Additionally, a new proletariat must be created. In his "Prison Notebooks," he suggested that the new proletariat be comprised of many criminals, women, and racial minorities.

The only issue I have with this is that in this country - education up to 18 years old is still free - so what is the excuse there? The only person who fails by not completing their education is the individual involved - you cannot blame the govt if these kids drop out at 13 because they are not interested in doing what most of the rest of society did and getting some qualifications to better themselves.
Then they're stuck - unlikely to get a job with no qualifications and in a mess.
But - again - if a person is on benefits they can still get free education, so once again there is opportunity to take courses in IT, Hairdressing, plumbing - whatever - but it is available and not taken up.
I also agree with this statement from the OP

You make a fair point about quality of education that I overlooked - very true - you could be stuck in a rubbish school or with a rubbish teacher. I therefore accept your point on that.
As for missing anything - tax dodgers is a good one.
You know I met someone I used to hang around with at school about 10 years after leaving the place - and this "friend" when I asked him what he did for a living, said beaming with pride
"I haven't worked since school, just sell drugs and steal"
Absolutely as true as night turns to day - I just put my pint down and left - why would I want to waste any more time talking to a complete waste of time, piece of scum, leech on society.

You don't get what you don't give.
