types will be complaining it has become difficult to find the money for fees and look to the state for subsidies. No, that's a lack of social and economic mobility. As I pointed out, extreme income inequality is a symptom of an entrenched lack of economic mobility. Life chances, and the opportunity for power and influence are all more widely accessible to all when economic mobility is more fluid. What's the point of social mobility? It still leaves some in the gutter The point is that ordinary people get a fair opportunity to make a good life for themselves, if they want to pursue a career which requires a good education. I don't know what you mean by being 'left in the gutter,' if that means low-paid, low-skilled jobs then that doesn't necessary mean people are in the 'gutter.' You can live a happy, healthy life in a low paid job and frankly unless we ARE advocating communism them there are always going to be, and need to be, people in low paid jobs. If by in the gutter you mean unemployed then yes, that is terrible that people are unable to get a job, but unemployment is a seperate issue to social mobility. Surely SOME effort to improve social mobility (even if it isn't a very good one) is better than nothing at all which we would have if it were a purely Tory government. In the UK there is now no such thing as social mobility. Cameron and
