Like Owen Jones?
Owen Jones had the advantage of educated, poltically aware parents who uncouraged his education which eventually led to an Oxford education. He's a champ and a beacon of hope. The people I work with and live amongst are the children of sacked steel workers, sacked coal miners, sacked mill workers and weavers, sacked tailors. Education has been of secondary importance for generations and unfortunately these regions are slow to catch up - the infrastructure still isn't here. A parent who cannot read cannot teach a child to read. I had a shit education but I've worked hard since, sharpened my own abilities through trial and painful error and now my children are learning at a more advanced level than their peers. I hope they can have the University education I could never have.
This is a referendum that has been placed in the hands of an undereducated majority by an over educated individual and he should be sacked for making such a rash decision.

It's a failing of the mainstream political parties, but especially the Labour Party, that they can no longer engage certain sections of the working class. UKIP have successfully played on the fears of 'the other' with these people and 6 years of ideologically driven austerity has driven them into their arms.
