          @BBCBreaking prepare for mass unemployment of over 25's. Kids and students exploited then dumped? Maybe.

          @bbcbreaking Would be more important to raise minimum wage. Paying a living wage is optional.

          @DJG39 @BBCBreaking Really its a raised Minimum Wage; the Living Wage would be higher, especially if no longer part covered by tax credits.

          @shakeyd1969 @BBCBreaking I went to an inner London comp and feel badly let down by the education system in the early 70s. It was inept.

          @shakeyd1969 @BBCBreaking Fair play to you. The education system in UK is a bugbear of mine I think it's woeful.
