And very little to do with "the muppets you voted for" either.
UK manufacturing has been being dismantled since the eighties, partly by governments, and partly by the employees and unions themselves (cutting their own throats).

You seem to have forgotten Thatcher and her transformation of the UK into services.
it was terrible the way EU forced all those coal mines to shut
And why oh why did the EU make us have the poll tax
surely employees and unions are a result of political decisions
If UK government had invested in education and invested in industry we wouldnt have lost manufacturing
I cant think its helped neo liberal policies which flogged anything not nailed down -its all about short termism.

How so?
You make it sound like the population are just gormless minions, rather than the lifeblood of the country.
uni is higher education
government shapes the direction
do you think taking away nurses bursaries might be connected to less people becoming nurses
if government puts money into technical colleges and gives people grants to go there.....that would mean more people trained in technical skills and more of that sort of business here
sadly many CEOs and top executives seem to be public school muppets who got the job through the old boys network "Golf on Friday Old Bean"

"Higher education is third level education after you leave school. It takes places at universities and Further Education colleges."

That doesn't explain decimation of manufacturing ; you can't kill it in a few years (as basically happened in the eighties) by cutting off the supply of willing and able 18 year olds.....

40 years of decline..40 years of EU membership..Of course.no connection.Send Black & Decker to Poland...Bring in some EU fruit pickers...Great idea.
Not that I'm into conspiracy theories or anything but I've always had a suspicion our future was mapped out many years ago around an EU table (at which we were sitting).
UK does the financial jiggery pokery, Germany does the manufacturing and ze French does the agriculture/fisheries.
And just to make sure we can all afford a BMW, lets have a common currency that values the Deutschmark on a parity with the Spanish peseta.
Perfect.

You're joking, the knowledge required to be a qualified electrician or gas installer doesn't even amount to 5% of the knowledge required in an engineering degree such as physics/electronics etc.
You're seriously underestimating the vast knowledge and level of intelligence required to obtain technical degrees and that's not forgetting the serious maths required (way beyond A level).
Most students taking engineering degrees must enhance their maths abilities and it's a real hurdle for many.
For domestic work, trades require no more than primary school maths grade and the most basic calculator will suffice.
