The problem all started with mass immigration. That equates to shortages of housing schools NHS etc, that’s where the problem started. Mass immigration was just to keep the economy strong with cheap labour, it was never for the benefit of the country’. 

Absolutely part of the problem, although I would suggest mass migration was as a result of our EU membership and Blair drive for 'multicultural Britain', which in reality was a cheap stream of low skilled cheap labour to keep our services sector running, unfortunately that was at the detriment of the working and middle class.

My wife and I are both from modest working class backgrounds, especially my wife. We have 3 sons whom we supported  through university costing around £10K each, but since then none has asked for any further financial support apart from one who moved back for a year to save up his deposit.

They all live in their own (mortgaged) homes and none has been to the food bank.

It's not about going to university, it's about taking the right course at the right university. Too many go primarily for the freedom and lifestyle and take any old subject that's not too demanding like textile design or philosophy then, when they leave, they end up working somewhere like the local council because they can't get the well paid career position they expected.

And that's genuinely very commendable, but unfortunately many are not in the financial position to do that in the first place, or frankly lack the academic capability to do so, or secure decent employment at the end of it. For people like that (and there's nothing wrong with being non academic) there used to be well paid careers in manufacturing, manual labour or trades, these days alot of those sectors were shut down or wages artificially suppressed due to EU membership and a plentiful supply of cheap foreign labour and more people for the job than jobs to fill. 

The whole situation has massively benefited high paid large buisness owners at the expense of everyone else, while the average person can't get a school place, a doctor appointment or a police officer to attend a burglary. Extremely wealthy individuals who benefited the most, don't need to suffer the negative consequences like everyone else, as they pay for private health care, private schooling and have gated mansions with private security.
