I think it's actually far right conspiracy theorists you will be labelled with. There is no right of centre or even just centre and more. We are all fascists and racist bigots, not sensible people who don't believe in a system that has always failed and created poverty and suffering and continues to do so. But if you spend too much time in education, listening to people who have only ever been in education, who know little or nothing and then come out thinking you are a superior being, what do you expect?

How long, is “too long” in education, in your opinion?
I sometimes wonder if folk should be allowed to leave school and go to work at around 12 again👍

but for sure, I think this obligatory stay at “school” untill your 18 is madness

I think the problem is that academia is placed above all things practical and it suits very few to carry on down that route when it will do them little good as it's not linked to anything they want their life to be. Say you had a child who had a passion for engineering and saw something like the Navy as a good way to get into that way of life, paid and supported but they are persuaded by the other parent to just hang on in mainstream education so that the benefits kept rolling in. That's the way our current system works.

I think education is an industry out of control. From the age of 10 kids are pushed to think they have to stay at school, do A levels then go to uni. to do a degree ( any degree will do it seems ) You would not believe the range of degrees I find working in coffee shops.. Nothing wrong with working in coffee shops, but after 3 years at uni & a £50k student loan ?.
Now I accept that some profesions do require a Uni education, but many of the kids who are pushed into the "must get a degree " idea would be far better directed to learn a "trade"
All the sparkies, joiners, plasterers & plumbers I know seem to be awash with work & are all earning good money

No, there are lots of left wing and right wing media. I try and read a range of them . I find France 24 very middle of the road and they report all points. They've been very good on the Indian farmers strike, Boca Haram in the Sahel, Myanmar, Fruit theft in southern Africa etc. There's a world out there , not just the ever narrowing UK view.
Sure the EU should get criticised, but it needs to be constructive, as more comes out about the broken vaccine contracts , the commissions side becomes clearer. It's become very clear that the vaccine makers gave their best case production estimates , rather than an average view. This is not the EUs fault.
The UK press is dreadful, printing what has been proved lies. All ramped up to make everything EU = bad and everything uk= good. It's never black and white but varying shades of grey.
Much of the problem being that people, who are dismayed at what's become clear, have to justify their decision . Which in hindsight was the wrong one, even though it was made with the best of intentions. It's called the law of unintended consequences!

A couple of problems as I see it is that for the last generation or two those that are teaching have never seriously done anything other than go to school /uni/t training ( A lot of my teachers had mostly been at war or it had seriously affected their life ). Then all practical jobs and those that used to be apprenticed are or have been discouraged. since blair said everyone should have a uni degree, yet go onto any industrial estate and see which businesses have the most activity going on and count the number of vans driving to a job with dave the plumber/electrician etc written on them .(took me nearly a fortnight to get an electrician to go look at a house). With the drive towards bringing in cheaper than can be produced here goods there really are only 2 options that I would be pushing youngsters towards either work for the government in some form or get a trade all other jobs seem as if the could be gone in a click.
also just think of the money that has been and is still to be spent on covid what a hive of industry we could have had if only a small proportion of that had been spent on manufacturing, skill development, over the years rather than shutting industry down and forcing it abroad

"There's a world out there, not just the ever narrowing UK view" Why do you even need to write that? is that not a bit bigoted or just stereotyping?
Then you tell us "it's never black and white but varying shades of grey"
You can't have it both ways.

Honestly, it's like watching a loved one self harm!
Have a look at the UK media it's all uk great and the EU is not . Even when the facts come out they print and broadcast lies. Xenophobic or what.
Take George Eustice repeating continuously the EU changed the rules on bi-valve molluscs to be spiteful. The truth is the UK lobbied for a tightening of the rules in 2008 and wrote the Third country rules on seafood for the EU. Then voted to be a Third country!😭

Seriously? Stereotyping! Come on!😂
