No. There’s your problem. I’m saying everyone can and would argue things were tougher for their generation. You are steadfast in your view there’s only one candidate.

Far from the norm, millions could not afford to buy even with 2 incomes. I don’t know where this narrative “life was easier in the past” comes from, it’s always incomparable. Every generation will and can argue they had/have it tougher. The only thing I would say is there’s one generation who...

That’s because in 70s many women didn’t work. Naturally as households gained 2 incomes, it accelerated inflation. Then came selling off the gardens and council houses and the great greed is good, “the grabbing hands, grab all they can” (as DP famously sang) rush was well and truly underway for a...

And who’s going to pay for that eh? Generation Z?! ;) Honestly, the level of knee jerk reaction-ism on this thread is enough to get you into government…

Yes. But only rich ones. Rest should be waiting on Boomers in the Hotel Marigold.

What a croc of proverbial. By that reckoning nobody aged 30 or less has any money, total nonsense of course. I spend a lot of time helping elderly, the very people you’re slating. Lots living in absolute and relative poverty. If you truly believe what you write, then I’m afraid you’re...

Quite like a Bender myself. And a Quarter Pounder. Certainly better than McDonalds IMO.

…to add some petrol to the fire, as you’ve got it nicely roaring, some of the mass of contributory factor is obviously cost of land here, and global competition/market we’re all now in. Far more people in this country: if the Boomers didn’t give birth, then you’d literally have nothing to moan...

Jeez, yes, I remember it got silly indeed. A friend of mine was invited to go to a stag do in Thailand no less. He couldn’t afford. His mate lambasted him for not going FFS!! Really gave him shit for. And as you say, this was far from extreme, for a solid 5 years the wedding season was...

Thing I don’t like about where we’re going is behemoth private companies playing god with who received treatment, what’s excluded and included etc. Any such decision making, in the hands of profit motivated plutocrats, can only end badly for the vast majority. Yes we all have a responsibility...

Ooow, that looks good. Not seen, thank you. Will watch later.

LOL! Although it’s not as simple as you make out and your other comment about ‘mobility scooter fatties’ is perhaps a little unkind. The Food Industry which my careers-in has an enormous and better role to play in this, as have many others. To a degree, we’re all completely at their mercy and...

You’ve got a right cobb on about this haven’t you?! One thing for sure, you ain’t living to a booming old age at this rate! Too angry and resentful at everyone ‘considerably richer than yowl!’ Calm down dear, you’ll give yourself a hernia if not a heart attack and nobody wants that, not least...

My ancestors lived in a small poor rural village outside London in the 1700’s. Called Chelsea. Wish they’d bought their property :rant::hilton:

Something that escapes many younger generations complaining about Boomers, and I include myself to some extent, is they are rapidly becoming ‘past tense’ anyhow. Like the greatest generation are now all but gone, I don’t think people realise the passage of time! Perhaps worth saving your wrath...

Agree entirely

Racism, class and religion were used to, but why are there so many people trying to start gender and age ‘wars’ these days?
