Says the person who constantly uses personal anecdotes
Yet more generalisations...my first job in my industry was unpaid and I found it using my own initiative as I decided I needed to get some experience.
I was also working 2 other jobs at the time and literally working on average 14 hours a day 7 days a week.
Granted this was back in 2009 when there were way less jobs about due to the recession but there are still plenty of people doing what you did.
Good use of selective metrics there to try and wage generational warfare. Of course, you’ll be aware that some of the reasons interests rates are so much lower now is because of the crippling debt levels, the fact house prices have rocketed relative to the average rage and that they needed to be lowered in order to get the economy going again after deregulated capitalism brought it to its knees.

One of my colleagues daughters has just been doing it for an entire year after leaving university. It’s almost broke him as it was in London and although she was doing paid work in the evenings/weekends she still couldn’t afford the cost of living so it was bank of mum and dad to make up the difference. It did lead to a very good job but to suggest that the practice doesn’t exist still is as you say nonsense.

Which you have just done for your crass generalisations.
The truth to me seems that you now live in an isolated wealthy bubble and have been out of touch for quite a while
Good that’s life
I’m just pointing out realities to Brighton who thinks the world owes him a living and everything has to be handed to him on a silver platter
According to empirical studies on the matter the current generation will/does have it harder to create a living than the one before. You characterise degrees now as Mickey Mouse with 5 hours contact time a week and while some might be, my course hours were close to those of a working week notwithstanding the year spent in industry as part of it.
My profession has not seen a real terms pay rise in a decade. Class sizes increase but the resources available decrease and most times I buy my own. Coventry’s schools stand to actually lose money from their budgets if the ‘fair funding formula’ is implemented. Do I think I’m ‘owed’ a living no but a fair crack of the whip would be nice.
Certainly in the last 5 years I had pay rises of less than the increase in living costs
Take your frustration out on the Blair creature for the absurd university expansion and education dumb down
Fair play to her.
Just another indicator that the leave campaign was a Trojan horse for a no deal brexit so the disaster capitalist backers could capitalise on the impending disaster.
Clearly you know far more about everything than those 30 years and more your senior.
Great news, hideous woman, good riddance.
Or are you suggesting age automatically gives you a better understanding of everything? In which case surely the best thing to do is just have the PM as the oldest person in the country and parliament as the next 649. Save all this time and money on having elections and we'd automatically have the most experienced and knowledgeable parliament available
Ironic given that the idiotic remainers were pretty much trying to apply the logic to get s dribbling europhile to lead some stupid emergency government
I suspect they wouldn’t have applied the logic of the right honourable dribbler of Brussels had left and they had to turn to the next longest serving member
Could you just use names rather than keep up the ‘dribbling’ act?

If you mean Johnson, whatever people want to call him (and I don’t disagree with some of the stuff), at least he is trying every which way to finalise the Brexit situation once and for all.
I can’t say I agree with all of his methods but as someone else said on an earlier post at least he’s trying to finalise matters
Ps after thornberrys comments on QT there is no way Corbyn can be caretaker PM for any discussions with the EU

Let’s actually look at that in a bit more detail.
Corbyn has clearly said that he will give the final decision back to the people, and provide credible leave vs remain options.
He and his party are duty bound to negotiate a deal that can be put forward for people to vote on. It would I imagine be something like the SM/CU arrangement they talked about before.
I appreciate that it may then seem strange to campaign for remain, but they have a responsibility to try and get some kind of deal - which would make them more productive than Boris and his crack team of negotiators.
Two senior members have his cabinet last week both confirmed whatever the deal is they’d urge the country to vote against it
Brilliant strategy. What do you think the Eu will offer better than they already have when Corbyn turns up drops his trousers and says we want to stay?
It’s actually so bad it’s embarrassing

So you want to deny MP’s a right to an opinion in a national referendum?
Where's that then ?You say that, but all the evidence points to the contrary.
1st rule of communism.....?

We agree on something then. You're on about BoJo right?
I wonder if Corbyn gets a deal and inevitably the Trojan horse parties, sorry ERG and Brexit parties inevitably campaign against it in the referendum does that mean we’ll have to label the ERG and Brexit parties dribbling europhiles for campaigning to keep us in the EU?
No Johnson wants to end the issue one way or the other. There is an opportunity to revoke article 50 but Mr Corbyn as ever dithers and refuses to take this to the electorate
Oh dear leave the irony to me. Like everything else you are pretty poor on any issue or discussion
It's actually embarrassing that after over 3 years people are still talking about this like its a commercial negotiation where the other party has a range of positions it might bargain.Two senior members have his cabinet last week both confirmed whatever the deal is they’d urge the country to vote against it

I'd have thought it was far more embarrasing that more than three years after voting to leave the EU Britain is still a fully paid up member of it?
