I did better under Labour

They are squealing already - it's glorious

Corbyn boost after condemnations from dreadful people

Viva la Revolution!

Whats the alternative, UKIP and Farage

The Emigration Party.

In 2020 I will vote Komrade Korbyn and fook off to my private island somewhere where it does not rain more than once a year.

I propose a fair system of wealth distribution. Anyone who earns more than me, pays 99.99% tax. Anyone who earns what I earn or less, pays 0.01% tax.

Simples.

is this the idea you took from your divorce settlement?

So it was tough paying the mortgage for a few months on your detached 4 bed with half an acre, before inflation eroded the debt after a couple of years.

I was born mid-70s, so take your grump clock-watching post and shove it.

My bad.

I hear you on the B1 B2 thing, let's call Thatcher's yuppies B3 and jobs a goodun.

All have had it gravy though.

I am Boomer 1, born in 1951. As a small child when I started wanting to eat sweets, they were still rationed. Our favourite places to play were bomb sites. But our parents, the wartime generation, believed in making a better future, and they did. We ran with that: on one side we were the better future and we benefited from their sacrifice; but on the other side we kept building a better world. We signed up for pensions not for ourselves (in the 1960s nobody young thought they'd ever grow old) but for our parents and grandparents because we knew what they had sacrificed. We didn't want to skim off the cream and leave future generations with the only other thing that floats: we believed as no generation before in ever better times. No one is more sorry than we to see that dream die, and I do not believe it needs to. It matters to me personally, I have adult children (millennials). In fact I think that one of the problems now is that the people in power now do not have adult children so they have no idea what it is like for them.

The Boomers' time has passed and most of our dreams were not realised. But we didn't make the tulip, we just failed to make reality live up to our dreams.

Makes no odds if the politicians have teenage kids. The cabinet are all millionaires.

Well your dream/debt needs paying for. Are you going to pay for it?
