I think you also fail to recognize the class divide in the UK. If you did a poll, you'd find very few people from lower class backgrounds working in high paying IT jobs in the financial sector, free education or not.
I'd also like to see figure of UK citizens working abroad in other parts of the EU and how much they are making. And once again, my guess it that many of those working abroad in the EU are not from the working classes. I doubt UK citizens are out competing Polish labourers in Poland for pay rates. If they are forced to do that, there's something fundamentally wrong.

No longer the 5th, the immediate effect of the vote was to drop us to sixth.
