Why would that be better under Labour? Clean air? What services?
Doesn't she want good health, clean air or decent services and infrastructure?
I know very well. Bought a house for 26k in 1997. Sold it for 33.5k in 2002. Bought a house for 61k. Sold it in 2009 for 128k. Bought for 150k and sold 18 months later for 175k.It did indeed .

I would be voting for them regardless brah

And during this time our pensions got decimated.
But the normal thing we hear is the last generation had it so good. And this is from the most left wing of Labour.
I was talking about your daughter - asking was this house you daughter's buying the £500k house you talked of young people aspiring too? And why are you turning down the chance to be rich? All you've got to do is go without poxy over-rated air, food and water but what are they compared to money?

you wouldn’t
But you love to blame the Tories for everything. When I say the last Labour government were Tories in disguise the excuses come out.Millennials have been let down by neoliberals and conservatives alike. The 2017 manifesto was the sweet spot

I would prefer to still have 30k houses for families to live in. I would prefer final salary pensions like we used to have. Not going to make excuses for what happened. But many don't like the truth.
Some admit they are. Others are so obvious that they are.Really? Which prominent lefties are saying that?
The biggest changes that you keep mentioning were under the Labour years. Yet you make out it was the Tories.The Tories have been in for a decade, most of what is bad now is a reflection of their governance is it not? I have said many times that neoliberals have much to answer for-but they have not been in office since 2010

And the get out clause has always been the Tories have been in for ... amount of years.
I talked about the Coventrian living in a £500k house - are you drunk?
I am not a Tory and never will be.In the last 40 years Labour have been in for just 13 of them dude and I keep saying neoliberalism hasn't helped my generation much either
Though to be fair they haven't made my job harder every year unlike the blue guys
I am not a Tory and never will be.
And you have said it yourself here. In the last 40 years or so there has not been a left wing Labour government. Yet many push for a left wing Labour party.
That is why I say make the choice. Left wing Labour party or go closer to centre and have a chance of winning a GE.
This isn't me pushing for the centre. It is me being realistic on what is needed if we are to have a Labour government.
We've never had it so good wait what we're the first generation to be worse off than the one before.
Millennials have been let down by neoliberals and conservatives alike. The 2017 manifesto was the sweet spot
Also the first to have a shorter life expectancy than the last

But who's better, Shipley or Bayliss?
But who's better, Shipley or Bayliss?
In my lifetime we have had:
Prolonged and failed wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria with a disastrous intervention in Libya
Global financial crisis when most of us were leaving school and from which recovery was slower than the 1929 Depression
A decade of austerity
Brexit and that's nowhere near done yet
Coronavirus pandemic likely triggering a second recession
The economic consequences of this are very well publicised but fortunate boomers on here and elsewhere don't quite get it. Renting is a habit for the vast majority and there is no longer such thing as a job for life or at the current rate of change permanent jobs themselves are an oddity. Luckily it seems like Generation Z are of similar mindset
jesus- things, stuff, possessions, self absorption, me, mine, accumulating, consuming, working harder to buy more, take on more debt to buy more, taking lots of selfies on the way, then dying without really having done much apart from ‘perpetuating the cycle. I don’t claim to have any answers for anyone but that sounds like a shit life to be aiming for.
I agree- one of the things I try to teach my kids is that you do not need to live the life you’re told to in order to be content and secure, and work like an idiot just to conform. I have high hopes for the next generations, from what I can tell they ridicule some of the older lot even more than we did when we were their age.
Both of you are of course very middle class and privately educated
The notion voting for a parasite like Corbyn would improve your life is beyond comprehension.

I agree with the emigration suggestion. Except for Saturdays and the odd Tuesdayjesus- things, stuff, possessions, self absorption, me, mine, accumulating, consuming, working harder to buy more, take on more debt to buy more, taking lots of selfies on the way, then dying without really having done much apart from ‘perpetuating the cycle’. I don’t claim to have any answers for anyone (apart from maybe emigrate) but that sounds like a shit life to be aiming for.
I still want to know how you think we can win over Coventrian

…...and the fact that I still have over a foot of snow outsideI agree with the emigration suggestion. Except for Saturdays and the odd Tuesday
