    I am also of the opinion that a lot of the young folk in Britain need to get their act together, but it's wrong to launch a scathing attack on them.

    If our young are failing - then who is responsible?

    If you read the quote from the OP, the last paragraph says;
    "These are Labour's children, educated under a Labour government and force-fed a diet of dumbing down and low expectations."

    A bitter pill to swallow for Labourites.

    EVERYBODY has a responsibility to the education and development of our young. That includes employers - rather than seeking to find the cheapest labour they can they should be giving back to the system and investing in the development of it's people.
