The older generation lived within their means to a large extent. If they didn't have the money they did without. No popping a credit card into a hole in the wall creating huge debts.
The older generation didn't pay nearly enough tax to cover pension and healthcare liabilities, now this generation is paying more for longer, and already there is talk about allowing our pensions to be inflated away, and the retirement age being upped and upped, the young generation is paying for your benefits they that will never themselves see.
And welfare has been about since 1911 and ramped up massively after the war, so don't talk nonsense about their being no dole.
You paid *significantly* less on mortgages and rent, both as a percentage of income, and over time. And then your generations has the nerve to be a very large factor in the anti development nimby movement (got mine, f*ck you).
Organised paedophilia in the media, gangs of London, football hooliganism, plenty of examples of s behaviour that makes kicking a homeless man to death seem normal.
The older generation should think again before criticising the young.
Who voted for mass immigration? Don't remember it in anyone's manifesto.
It was part and parcel of the EU deal, you didn't bother to read the small print, the older generation voted for it.
Millions of people of all ages, not just middle/old aged, voted the party in that opened the floodgates. When Bliar dragged the band members of Oasis into no. 10 and droned on about 'cool Britannia', was he courting the grey vote?
Labour are not responsible for EU immigration, it is part an parcel of the EU package, which older generations voted for.
Labour were also predominantly voted in by older generations, young people at that time were statistically insignificant.
