The Working classes can get lost - please

It should be obvious now, even to the most bigoted Tory thinking supporter that the neoliberal free market obsessed governing classes in the UK are openly exclusionary, that is, their policies are designed to exclude large sections of the British population from the benefits of the wealth and privileges of their economic and social policies. These benefits are reserved for the privately educated and property owning elite that the dominant classes regard as (in Thatcher's famous phrase), 'one of us.'

The most obvious example of this is the national policy on student finance that is targeted to exclude working class students, particularly mature students who make education their way out of a cycle of poverty and unemployment. In addition, higher education is seen as a method of training as opposed to education. The government only requires you to be 'educated' to the extent that you can function in a neoliberal economy. Education will be the preserve of the private system and the elite universities who cater for the economic and political elite. The neoliberal sees no immediate economic advantage in subjects such as social sciences and so are unwilling to fund them. For example, the Metropolitan University in London has closed its history and philosophy courses. Think about that, the society you live in is the result of its history and the ideas that have shaped it over the years and you will never understand the present society if you are ignorant of such things. That is what the neoliberal wants, a robotic, low paid ignorant workforce who can't and doesn't think and who can't and won't challenge the system. As Jonie Mitchell sang, don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till its gone, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. They're paving over the education system, health, welfare etc., and putting up a sterile society where progress and success are limited to a wealthy and privileged elite and everyone else is excluded, because health, education, and every other important aspect of what makes a society civilised will soon be completely privatised  and only available to those who can pay. Welcome to your modern slavery, you voted for it! At least the Scots are showing another way and may escape the worst ravages that are soon to be visited on the rest of the UK.
