Is there any excuse to blame lack of education when it's freely available?
A bloke in Africa will walk 10 miles to school, because its a way out. to food and trainers
A bloke here , will walk 10 miles to avoid school. because he knows that if he has no food or trainers, the state will provide. and if it doesnt, he can nick them
