or is a Youtube video showing a stereotype, a half-arsed suggestion about legislation and a laugh at any light scrutiny all you got?

Now it's closer to 50%. Personally I think that was a pointless endeavour by New Labour and has devalued vocational (real) work, and increased the number of ridiculous degrees (and I don't have a problem with the pure academic stuff as long as it's difficult and very few people do it).Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Nice image showing a correlation around the right to buy (which was an excellent way for poor people to escape the poverty trap, and became Labour policy in 1987). The graph seems to show that the legislation failed to prevent the decline in local authority building.
Second graph. WTF? What is a 'long running average of UK house price to earnings ratio'? It's a chart with no meaning. Other than it says that houses are harder to buy now than during the mid-90s recession (duh). It might also say that thjey are easier to buy now than in 2007 (which clearly shows that the chart is not helpful).
Next. Houses cost more than they did in 1960. Heaven forfend. Have you got a graph in real term costs (you know with inflation factored in), that supports your argument?
So what is your argument?
I'll summarise it so far..
1) "I bet you're the type of person who refers to under 30s as "snowflakes""
2) a tulipty Momentum video about middle-class stereotypes, shared on Youtube by a guy called Benedict Pringle
3) A graph showing a correlation with no argument to explain it's relevance, and 2 meaningless graphs.
At least you're trying.
And now the last graph. What's that trying to say? That our job market is changing?
Nothing to do with tuition fees I'm afraid. Try a global market, IT modernisation, de-industrialisation of the west (by market forces) and the rise of the developing economies. That's why our job market is changing.See You Next TuesdayComment
