Erm it's the corporations and the markets same as it was with the mill owners and the coal barrons etc etc, it's not some specific age group of the population.

 

As for the 80's I was newly married, had kids in the 80's in the days when pregnant women left work to have kids and you went down to one wage and made do/struggled through, and childcare was unheard of. I certainly had no income to indulge in disposable consumerism even if I could find it and I didn't know anyone who could.

 

Climate change wasn't a thing you even heard about until into the 2000's. The first thing I recall about the environment was the "hole in the ozone layer" stuff and CFC's - they weren't banned globally until 2010. The climate sceptics I am aware of (in my local) are way younger than me btw they also happen to be brexity, reform or torries so I have learned to avoid them.

 

Fuck sake. What generation was running these corporations? They weren't running themselves. 

 

The hole in the ozone layer was discovered in 1985. It took til 2010 to ban CFCs. I suppose it was the youth of the 90s who resisted for those 25 years? 

 

And aye, you had kids in the 80s but I bet you were living in a house you had a £5k mortgage on. Not your fault, but a simple fact that housing was relatively incredibly cheap back then. 

 

Whether you like it or not, this is the things kids today feel resentful for, and they get the "bloody snowflakes!" treatment. 

 

Anyway I get enough of this shit from my mam, BOOMER. Away with you.

How the fuck is it old peoples fault that young people won't vote 😂😂😂

You're falling into a trap of defending a generation you're part of, but whose typical behaviours and viewpoints are at complete odds with your own. You'd be better off agreeing they're largely all cunts and you're the exception to the rule.

There's cunts in all generations though, no other generation gets as generalised as us old cunts.

Because old people voted in the Tories for fucking ages, they did nothing to stop Murdoch or all of the other shit.

Absolute fucking nonsense!

 

The kids just don't want to work.

Young people would rather spend money on lattes and Netflix.

Young people don't vote

The folks running the corporations and benefitting from them are not the average man in the street, irrespective of age, then or now.

 

My mortgage was 3.5 times my and the Mrs' combined salaries btw, £5k !!! I fucking wish.

 

I feel sorry for kids today tbh but what they face is not the fault of everyone from a single demographic.

Exactly this, you're destroying your own argument TP

Am now absolutely certain you voted Tory in 1979

 

I don't blame you tbh. My folks were born in the mid 30s and after (according to them) Wilson & Callaghan having every major union leader in and out of Downing Street most nights  beamed live to the nation on news at 10  and the winter of discontent 78-79 am fairly certain that they did too. As am fairly sure they never did again. Basically it has to be pointed out that 70s Labour begat 80s Tories and the invention of Modern Britain

Old people, generally, and the press.

Do me a solid, just copy this phrase - "Young people don't vote" and pop it into www.google.com then hit return and watch as the page fills up with results from a whole host of sources.

Average UK house price was £19,273 in 1980. It had more than trebled to £58,250 by 1990.

 

The largest five year increase in house prices in the last 45 years was 109%, which took place from 1985 to 1990.

 

A frankly unbelievably fortunate time to already be a homeowner.

 

And that percentage growth from 1980 to today is over 1,300%. 

 

Those boomer homeowners trudging through the 80s had it TOUGH.

Lads, I feel like we're a bunch of feral charvers laying into TP curled up in the foetal position on the ground. Its not his fault he's from a generation of cunts. And more to the point, if we were born into that generation we'd be cunts too. 

Whisper it quietly but if you were born in Sunderland you'd be a mackem. 

Peace and love everyone.

 I’ll just add that the real reason the uk housing market is fucked is thanks to Margaret Thatcher, who was from Generation Cunt.

Well....her and Toonpack.

I was medicated last night and found myself wondering how blind people know when they've finished wiping their arse.

 

I nearly posed the question on here but fortunately realised it was absolutely rank stoner patter. I'll be on Joe Rogan's podcast before the year's out.

I'd forgotten about it until my deaf postman rang the Ring doorbell when I was out with the dog at lunchtime.

I won’t go in to detail, but it was a blind lad that invented the first Scratch and Sniff cards.

Surely the important question is whether they stand or squat?
