I've done research around this to satisfy myself I wasn't talking bollocks or my or my peers experiences were bucking a national trend.
Fuck it's sad, yes the papers show that respective governments have tried hard to engage with NEETS, harder than anything I experienced growing up.
What can't be denied is that the affect of my generations poverty is having a snowball affect.
Kids of 1970's kids who grew up in poverty as teenagers have a QUADRUPLED chance of still being in poverty by the time they're 42 which is predicted to continue until someone can find a successful way to stop this viscous circle.
Given the doom and gloom predictions of the affect on the young of a Brexit is sad, really sad.
