I'm afraid I simply won't have most white South Africans in my house.

You ask people their nationality before inviting them in then?

It must be hard for you to accept that the UK you know is coming to an end

Not at all darling.I'm fairly comfortable. I just wanted to respond to your frequent "I hate socialist" "Irish pricks" and "smash" this and that .
You also are always on about money"I love candy".
Me boring?
I repeat, you are a tedious bigot,a bore and a blow hard who uses any excuse to be offensive.
My guests always remark "Why Kevin,this is much more pleasant than a burns unit"
Have a nice day xxxx

Cut out the personal insults, they are tedious and unnecessary.

I wasn't aware I had singled anyone out with my request. I didn't quote anyone in particular if you care to look; however if the cap fits.....

Yes you, boring. Your endless hatred for all things Australian is boring kev. I bet your, err, 'guests' must have a real hoot listening to your 'Australia is shite' stories.

I reckon the burns unit wins.

You'll notice that my posts are in the am. Your latest were on a Saturday night-you're obviously living the dream.
I simply believe that many South African whites and Australians are boorish rednecks and your vitriolic remarks fit you in that category.
I actually don't refer to Aus much.It was a small misadventure in my life and thankfully I can choose where to live.
So sink those beers and eat up your burnt meat and carry on with your sexually repressed vendettas redneck.

The following is my personal opinion on the subject, based on my personal obsevations.
I'd like a flash car, but i cant afford one, thats just the way it is for me and i accept it.If you cant afford to go to University or more importantly dont want to pay for it when youre earning decent money later on, then dont go.Its called choice, we all have to make them and we all have to endure the consequencies.I dont believe that the government did the right thing encouraging everyone to go to Uni, its given the once acceptable jobs of council worker, tradesman etc a stigma of being beneath consideration by todays younger generation as they all think they will be senior executives or barristers, now dont think im criticising the kids, its what they've been encouraged to believe from early on.Take one look at the UK lack of apprentices..... more and more adults are retraining to fill the skills shortage and gaps which is great, but why are so few entering the trades from school?There are a finite number of jobs available for degree qualified Uni graduates, and I think its unfair that they have been set up for such a disappointing future in employment.

If people do still have a genuine post payment choice that is good. Not sure the "flash car" analogy is the correct parallel to university education though. Flash cars don't add that much to a countries future where educating your brightest does.

As we all know at one time university was purely purchased and the sole pursuit of the wealthy. In the competitive world of today countries can't afford to slip too far back to this model. Structurally a country needs the most long term output it can squeeze from its educational input. As much as possible, it is best to choose students on ability rather than wealth.

IMO the whole system needs bulldozing and reforming into a system suitable for the 21st century and not post WWII Britain.

The system may not be great - I don't think anyone on here said it was.

My point is only that there are cuts to clinical staff, no matter how much talk there is about the NHS escaping it.
IMHO, the cuts should be made elsewhere in the NHS - not to frontline clinical staff.
