Who would be a young Brit these days? Apparently they are a bunch of lazy, feckless, idle, unpatriotic, soft, computer game obsessed, wimps. That explains why the Armed Forces face a recruitment crisis, apparently. Or you can look at it from another angle.
Do you really buy this intergenerational, "the elderly took all the wealth" argument though Jonty? Of course the elderly are more wealthy on average than the young because they have been accumulating the stuff for a lot longer. But that wealth is far from evenly spread. The problems of the young are not because the elderly have a boot on their heads but because of poor policy by successive governments over economic planning, finance, education housing and immigration, the latter in the sense that expanded provision was needed, to meet a growing population but not provided - all underpinned by the stupid idea of free market efficiency. Its better to play the ball and not the man.
Your frustration with the corruption & stupidity of the Tories is reaching soaring heights of poetic rage. This should be a video blog & go viral!
