SIR – How it was. How it is.
How do we solve the problem?
Not so long ago children went to school, they left school and got a job in industry, agriculture, building or shop work, on low wages. A few went on to top jobs or university. That’s how it was.
Now children go to school.
Then they have further education, then university, then a gap year going round the world.
When they are in their 20s, they want a top job on a high wage. But these jobs don’t exist anymore.
All the old fashioned ordinary jobs for ordinary people are now taken by foreign workers, because our youngsters don’t want to do them. If they did do them, then there would be no work for the foreign workers, so they would not come to this country. That’s how it is.
How do we solve the problem?
