There's no such thing as New Labour now, thank goodness.

Also, some may feel they wasted 2/3 years at Uni, those also who go to Uni then drop out after a year or so also feel probably they wasted that time.

As with most situations as to life, hindsight after the event always makes things seem clearer,or that there should and could have been better ways.
However,to not have done that wasted time would have possibly left other regrets of not trying it at least.

No one is,or ever should be, forced to go to Uni, by politicians or anyone else,although the lack of real opportunities of good jobs now without some degrees,that in the jobs climate now over lots of areas of work, are becoming more and more selective and limited.
University does seem the way forward if you can get there and at least open up a more fighting chance for yourself.

Better to have tried and failed,as the saying goes, that in itself is more life experience and learning.
