Why are you ignoring the other points - re: Brexit and Voting patterns? that’s a fact - they overwhelmingly voted for these crucial things which have destroyed anything for younger people? Prefer Starbucks myself aswell.

Well it’s not - it’s the generation that overwhelmingly voted Conservative and the generation that overwhelmingly voted for Brexit. The consequence of those actions have ultimately led to the detriments of younger people.

But again, with housing - it’s not the purchasing that’s the problem. It’s that they then leverage their own property to purchase more to feather their pensions. then again being the largest electorate they vote the party that has consistently drove down the NHS, pushed Brexit and destroyed...

Nah - a lot of senior managers tend to delegate these types of roles to lower roles. Means they can push the responsibility but not pay them correctly. this is why the middle management role is often first to go in redundancies. I find that anyway. once you got the experience you can apply...

I’m not disagreeing with comparison to Europe. What I’m saying is if they drop pensions (extreme take) that’s it. it isn’t a saved pot - it’s an entitlement to whatever the pot is at that point

Then that’s the same isn’t it? If they decide one day they’re not paying pensions that’s it. I’m paying in tax revenue which is in turn paying today’s pensioners.

Finance is the same. They create positions then realise 2 years later they don’t need them.

The pot it’s drawn from isn’t the same pot you’ve paid into though is it. It’s drawn from the current NI Pot of the time.

This is because it’s usually the level that gets redundant first. on top of that it’s minimal pay for the added work load. It’s a no brainer. Now if the pay matched the effort required then maybe people would take them

You’re like me you own somewhere. Rents are sky high. And you’re competing with 3/4 different people. It’s not as simple as looking for a cheap place. if for example you have kids you’re looking for a 2/3 bedroom. As I’ve said - I’ve been lucky, got a decent job and got on the housing ladder...

Most people aren’t - when you make £1500 p/m and the rent is. £900 a month you’ve got £600 for food, energy and basic necessities. people aren’t taking holidays. That’s the point. the boomers as it were assume if you stopped doing that you’d get a deposit. Netflix is £8 a month. Cancel that -...

I didn’t say you did I - the regular comments are cut out Netflix etc, holidays. we can have the conversation about immigration if you want? It’s not easy - regardless of what the far right want - you can’t just turn the boat around or leave them to die. We’re signed up to numerous treaties...

That’s true, but then when you inevitably have a party geared towards them and not the working class it’s creates anger that the workers are being shafted time and time again. Only to be told cut out the Netflix and avocados. It’s tone deaf ignoring the concerns of the people who pay their...

Only £812 better off for me. Fucking Rachel Reeves

Tell you the truth I’ve written off a state pension when I’m that age.

I’ve not said they’re overpaid - I’m saying the current imbalance is unsustainable

Fortunately it not in government so I can’t tell you the answer. the current situation is unsustainable given the tax payer base to pensioners is becoming imbalanced - but that’s not something 55+ people would give a shit about is it

I’m not anti old people. I’m sick and tired of hearing that young people don’t have work ethic or they just need to cut Netflix and holidays. It’s why my sympathy for the winter fuel payment is somewhat lessened there are so many costly issues away from immigration. Tax loopholes need closing...

Brexit has been the most catastrophic decision made by this country since Chamberlain’s peace in our time. that took place under that government. Not forgetting Austerity under Cameron, The car crash that was Boris Johnson (in fact his deal was actually worse than the one May got with the EU -...

It’s not bitter or jealousness, it’s the fact that the last 14 years has seen every advantage that generation had been taken away from them. it’s that generation that predominantly voted Brexit (freedom of movement gone) it’s that generation who continually voted conservative - great if you...
