If there is one thing every single politician should learn from Benefits Street, is how appalling our education system really is.
7th richest country in the world, and our working classes are finding it hard to get minimal qualifications to get into work at an early age.
There just isn't the support for kids in education anymore. They're too interested in the end results.
New Labour took away the pride of the job, and wanted good stats. They weren't interested in the people behind the stats, just as long as they looked good.
So how did they get the stats looking good? By simplifying our education.
They also took away discipline. Not only from schools, but from the NHS, and work in general.
There is no such thing as discipline anymore. At school if your phone was taken off of you, because that was the policy, your parents could march in and scream at the teacher until they gave it back.
My generation has not learnt that golden rule: Actions have consequences.
I'm not proud to say it, but I took alcohol on a school trip got caught, all I had was a detention, and was 'banned' from any other school trips. Well, until the next one which they allowed me on.
There was no consequence, there was no real telling off, except from my mum who was furious, but the teachers were too scared to tell me off.
Labour has done Britain a massive injustice, by taking away discipline, and simplifying things just to make end results look good.
As the saying goes, look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves. We look after our young, they'll have the knowledge to look after their young when their adults.
