Sounds like we need to spend even more on those “demographics” to get their performance up!

Are you serious? Because I've heard it argued that this is one of the fundamental differences in the approach between left and right. The left thinks money can solve all problems if we just spend more of it in the right place. The right thinks there is a cultural problem to be solved.

I'm generally quite progressive but I am beginning to appreciate that the right may have a good argument.

That's also the left. The right holds the differences are genetic, not likely to change, and the only problem to solve is how to keep them out of the country.

What do you think you mean with "cultural problem to be solved" that doesn't involve "putting money in the right place"?
