To be fair, one of the placards reads "get the Tories out" so I guess you're right, that person is anti democracy. What do they think we should have then, dictatorship, communism, national socialsim?

We're desperately short on the professions you mention? I'm sure I read that the police were making cuts for a start.
They were probably doing the same job as you, but they didn't need to invest 20 odd years of service (you didn't specify).
The coastguards I know, including my brother in law do it as a second job. His degree has got him to a certain level of the national trust and then works.part time for the coastguard.
Lots of inverse snobbery and distaste towards the student.
Why is further learning so frowned upon?

Imagine the construction and engineering industry without further learning? Ha ha!
Please do elaborate.......
Time for your Horlicks grandad.

There are still vacancies advertised.
Barrel of Fun, not everyone can be a civil engineer or architect.
I didn't think you were such a snob looking down your nose at manual workers.

You're bringing us down, man.
Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! (What's that all about?)
Maybe 10% of construction jobs really require a degree education?

I'm not rattled in the slightest. I couldn't be less relaxed. It's half term and I'm only working for three days, although today was a challenging one.

What bloody hypocrites you lot are - your "democratic" government is banning strikes even if the highest number of votes agrees with them.
It's one law for the Etonians and another for the organisations of ordinary working people

Patronising. I thought better of you.
With regard to the use of the English language, is there any chance you could do the first bit, Sir?

Where have I professed to being a snob, Yorkie? 50% of my working career has been in low paid manual jobs. I dislike that aversion you suggested.
You have completely misinterpreted and misrepresented my views.
If anything, you have shown yourself to be a bigot in your posts and dismissive of people who work hard to gain a 'worthless degree'.
I've had enough of you. In my day...

you'd agree with the policy if there was a more suitable threshold? or do you think the ordinary working people disrupted by industrial action matter less?
That's what you find with democratically elected governments, they are given the power to put White Papers to the House of Commons for debate, which if supported by a majority of MPs, are then passed over to the Lords for further debate. If, and only if, they also vote in favour of the Bill it is then passed on to the monarch to receive royal ascent.
Easy enough for you?

Thunder Bolt was inferring that degrees were worthless. She then went on to mention various industries. I was simply pointing out that her world is not the real world.

This is incredibly boring. You are not winding me up. Carry on, if you wish.
