    On one hand I agree, people being unemployed is an issue.

    On the other hand, they’re not being unemployed because they don’t want to work, but because:

    • work either requires a degree that is an instant financial suicide with no guarantee that it will ever repay itself
    • or a gamble on apprenticeships where YOU pay to work, again with no guarantee that it will be worthwhile or even give you a job afterwards
    • or ending up in an “unskilled” position that only pays minimum wage because the law requires it, and said minimum wage is often not even enough to pay for your monthly costs

    But hey, sure, leaving the EU was a brilliant idea that increased jobs and job security!
