    The most disadvantaged Group?

    https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/...ng-left-behind

    Interesting article about white working class boys failing miserably and the lack of help for them out there. It's not perceived as politically correct or a great political tactical move to support helping poor white boys. So, looks like for the foreseeable future this trend is going to continue.

    Steady lad! They don't like facts on this forum.

      It may be that part of the problem is they are not so much 'working class' as 'not-working class'?

          Well the guy that donated a million pounds to a uni on the condition it was ring fenced for poor white boys was called a racist. The uni called the donation obnoxious.

          Tbf it needs government to tackle it and if you read the article white and poor are not considered disadvantaged. They should invest in poor areas like London, like they did after the riots.

            So white boys from a poor background are inherently lazy?

              The last 30 years the UK 'right' has been led by total spanners like Tommy Robinson and that fat guy from the BNP.

              At some point someone with brains will come along and mobilise this lumpenproletariat.

                I consider people like Tommy Robinson to be the extreme ultra right, violent thugs. I don't even think saying left or right is the issue. Some of the law for helping disadvantaged groups that excludes poor white boys was voted for by the conservatives, typically considered the right.

                  It will be a white supremacist movement.

                  Now that a combination of race and politics have become 'acceptable' then the touch paper has been lit on this.

                    The parents of those so called 'working class boys' just voted in a full right wing unhinged narcissistic Tory PM. Do they really expect change?

                    Remember them same boys, some of them living on the street, were asked why they voted for Brexit, what is it about the EU you want out from? The EU? What's that? I just voted against the government cause they don't give us any attention up here in the north. Time and time again that answer came from the demographic you speak of.

                    I'm sure they'll get attention now once the economy collapses on its knees.
