...'An old ex-girlfriend of mine had a degree in dentistry but it didn't stop her phoning me up to ask if she needed to bring her passport for our trip to Scotland'... LOL, brilliant. It's lucky she was pretty (and flexible). |

And you proving the article right again don't you realise that 😂 But if you're referring to my education at the age of 60 I fall into the average age of the Tory voters LOL Nope. You are setting the benchmark of ‘ education’ by degrees . Even you must know that before the 21st century degrees were a lot rarer and before say 1980s degrees were very rare . So who is more educated …a person with a degree in humanities or an electrician , an engineer , a cabinet maker ? Therein lies the problem that the young aren’t more often guided and helped in to practical skills and why we have a shortage of those skilled in useful employment while those with nobby degrees end up in Costa coffee behind the counter. |

And you proving the article right again don't you realise that 😂 Well now, lefty... If we assume that your article (which you've not linked) is correct and that Labour are in fact supported by a middle class intelligentsia, then it contradicts your previous assertion that Labour were swept into power on a wave of working class support. But, be that as it may, even if it is correct what does it prove? That Labour voters are more intelligent or simply that they are champagne socialists better able to afford Labours excesses than the working class? (In the same way that Remain voters were less likely to find themselves in competition with cheap foreign labour). None of which explains however, why Labours most ardent supporters on here, far from being intellectual giants, seem to be abject dullards unable to string a coherent sentence together. Go figure. |

Don't know about other labour supports on here But in my case I admit I lack education and at 60 I fall into the average age of the Tory voters. What think proven my point. Where does in say labour were in fact supported by middle class intelligents. And to turn that around saying the working class lack intelligence does that mean that the working class now vote Conservative party lol |

I've always said them that vote Conservative are a stupid uneducated lot. And stats prove it While age is obviously a huge dividing line Education is still a key dividing line The highest level of education someone has achieved remains an important dividing line in how people vote. Labour did much better than the Conservatives amongst those who have a degree or higher, by 43% to 29%. The Liberal Democrats also performed very well amongst this group with 17% of the vote share. We saw in 2016 that those with a higher education level were overwhelmingly more likely to back remaining in the EU, and this has seemingly transferred into party voting. The Conservatives won amongst the much larger group of voters who do not hold a degree, however. They outperformed Labour by more than two to one (58% to 25%) amongst those whose highest level of education is GCSE or lower. in terms of political preferences, education also played an important role. It was revealed that those with a University degree are more likely to vote labour, where those with GCSE or below-level education are more like to vote Conservative. When it comes to political allegiance age is far more of a factor than education. School kids & students who show any interest in politics are likely to be left wing. By the time they're in their early 40's and now more experienced, their political affiliations will likely have moved to the right. This is why lefties... Labour, LibDems, SNP and Welsh Nats, want ballot boxes in schools. Get em when they're inexperienced, naive and above all young, it's the left wing ethos. And I'll tell you something else Charlie, this is hardly a secret. I tell you something else Red when you get older you begin to lose your brain facilities . What explains a lot about the elderly Conservative voter don't you think. |

Yep - very true. The Tories are now the natural home of the Working Class. How times change..  Would that be the working class that have more degrees then the traditional grey hair voters. And I want mention the illness that effects there mind capacity to think straight. Well you move in different circles to me if you think the Working class are inundated with degrees.. It actually explains quite a lot.. |

Wouldn't you think in age of It and advanced technology them with degrees are better them then with them in Engineering and cabinet making who went to Apprenticeships at a young age . What's sadly missing these days. And yeah there is a shortage In them skills these days like I said because the employers don't train to workforce any more. But if your right the lack of a skilled jobs is because of a lack of Education will won't mind more immigration then that fill in that shortage because they must be more Educated then the British if your theory right. |

Well you move in different circles to me if you think the Working class are inundated with degrees.. It actually explains quite a lot.. What does it explains that you don't mix with the working class . Seeing you tried insuating them in socal housing were all unemployed or on Benifits. That attitude sinks of high Class Snobbery |
