The Unemployable

I suppose it is stating the obvious, but if you are a black male kid in south London what options do you really have. You have no education qualifications, you have an unintelligible accent, you have the personal skills of a rottweillwer. There is zero prospect of employment except in the drug industry or the derivative music industry. In that position, I suspect my first move would be to get a gun and gain at least a level of respect. If I felt 'dissed' by another in the same circumstance, killing them would not appear to be a bad option - a few years in prison would enhance my reputation and provide a niche for me when I emerged in a few years time.

The challenge is to provide any meaningful alternative for this sub-class, but what possible positiive role can these people play in modern UK society. If I want shit shovelled, I'd rather employ a Pole or a Czech. It may be that estabishing a formal ghetto is the best option!
