you mean having a degree?Originally posted by sasguru View PostThe educational stats. I'm sure you can read it for yourself. Or maybe you can't.
Of course it's a generalisation since not everyone with a poor education is stupid, but in general those with a poor education are on the left of the bell-curve.
Particularly as for the older, post-war demographic, high quality education would have been free and based on merit, unlike the young of today who have really got a raw deal.
now if you read the summary they pointed out degrees were only obtained by a small percentage of the population in earlier years. Few aspired to degrees and few would have been accepted by universities. More modern degrees handed out like cornflakes in the B'liar years tend to compare unfavourably as do GCSEs versus 'O' Levels.
This might help you understand it has pictures:

so assuming twice as many people in UKIP are over 40 then they are half as likely to have a degree as someone who could graduate in 2011 because the number of degrees gained doubled between 1992 & 2011.

Anyway judging from that exchange, there's at least one country whose educational level isn't better than the UK's: Poland.
Maybe they made it better after mos left.

The conclusion was not justified from the information given, was it?Originally posted by mos View PostMy hypothesis did not have logical flaw, you conceited moron.
Hence it was illogical.
No wonder you've earned so little over the years.
Keep digging though - it seems to be the "modus operandi" for cretins.

£300K tax over 15 years? That's 20K a year.Originally posted by mos View PostI have never claimed £1 in benefits and I am in BUPA since 2002. I cannot be bothered to calculate direct taxes which I contributed over the years but its far in excess of £300K.
But yes, I am free to do everything I want as long as its within the law.
And you're a "Tier 1" immigrant?

Feck me, maybe UKIP have a point.
What have you been doing, cleaning toilets?
