The fall of the lower middle class-or,no regrets

Of course,labour as a party suck,as do all political parties of any size.Equally,scrapping free education is wrong in principle,especially given the nature of other areas which recieve needless funding.But,if anything,the introduction of fees has positive side effects.When the lower middle classes deluged the university,it destroyed any class unity they may have shared with the working class,which lets face it,in the wider scheme of things,they were a part of.They actually believed they were superior to hose with just that little less money than them,and it is this hypnotised social group that kept the Thatcher government in all those years.The daydreams over now,there's still no jobs for most school leavers,but there are other prioriyies.New methods of shamming the unemployment stats.There is no longer a necessity to give the c2's there perks.
So,now they're revolting(sorry,no pun intended),and that's great.Unfortunately,it's selfish,but it's start.I think there may be a mass awakening when they all realise,despite the seeming salad days,they too have always been expendable in the eyes of government,and now they are losing importance,because the capitalist system is crumbling and it's manager are desperate.
SO,goodbye to the haughtily arrogant youths who felt they actually were intelligent compared to the masses.You never were,you just got lucky for a time.
