I would too. I think I'd also like to spend some of that hypothetical wealth helping others, such as setting up scholarship grants for 'poor kids' to pay for university or private school.

Its very important that in 'implementing socialism' we do not remove the incentive to work. Kids shouldn't be prevented from the best education if they show the potential to benefit from it. But its important that we don't fall into the trap of thinking everyone is the same ability or interests. Just 'allowing everyone to go to university' isn't an answer, it should be focused on those who 'earn a place'. The real failure is that we don't offer suitable alternatives to a good career that don't require higher educational achievement.

For example, apprenticeships, work place programs etc. You shouldn't need to go to university to become a lawyer or solicitor, there should exist an equal level of intake based on legal apprenticeships (in fact most people don't realise these even exist anymore - And that as a school leaver you could become a solicitor quicker than if you went to college, university and post-grad training).

The reason these have become less popular, is of course companies and businesses don't want to pay for training and production of skilled employees, when the state and more recently the prospective employee can shoulder the burden.

I suppose in the end, we need a workforce that suits our needs as a society. We need to encourage the exceptional and the gifted but make adequate provision for the average and below average. There is the issue that people are judged on pure academic performance and judged by people who qualified through the same process. This means that potentially gifted, capable people who don't do well in an traditional academic environment fall by the wayside.
It would certainly be better if there was opportunity for those who fall at the first hurdle to get a chance to go by another route and not be condemned to a second class education.

Well of course I am not saying that everyone that stifles free speech is liberal left. I have little regard for Trump, his not wanting newspapers he knows will attack him at his press conference is similar to Cardiff University students not wanting Germaine Greer to speak to them because she does not agree with their peculiar views on gender.

I am not sure comparing Trump and Cardiff University SU are exactly comparable and you make the point as if I am somehow I am in favour of banning Greer. What Cardiff have done is nothing to do with the liberal left or any Liberal Elite. It is the opposite of liberalism.

That's not true. They are probably a bunch of trots at a student union. They are not liberals or Liberals. Your just thinking up things you don't like and pointing at them and saying Liberal.

What are the names of these people and what makes you think they are members of the Liberal Democrats? Even Peter Tatchell has been "no-platformed, These people are not liberals and you saying they are doesn't make it true.
