It's been a Billy Bragg kind of a day.
"At 21, you're on top of the scrap heap,
At 16 you were top of your class,
All they taught you in school was how to be a good worker,
The system has failed you, don't fail yourself."

This seems appropriate this week. Epic.
for obvious reasons. reminding my 41 year old self how my teenage self felt about Thatcher
I'm going old school Bragg for #GE2015
Feeling all #BillyBragg today... The system has failed you, don't fail yourself
