Compared to my old fellas generation we are. They had nothing but owed no one a penny.

Car, motgage, student loans, credit cards give us the illusion of wealth.

Yeah we’ve got it great, things have never been better. Everything is just fine. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

Starmer is a good bet. That said, no idea if he’s palatable to some in Labour.

You mean the millionaire baby boomers? 

 

Having something is always preferable to having nothingsurely?  

 

Crime is lower, there are fewer wars, medical care is incredible and we all travel the world.

I hate agreeing with Rico. So I’m not going to. I’ll keep quiet.

Hardly millionaires but I cannot buy a house for 10k or have a 90% final salary pension. He has.

He’s done well then, he had nothing 2 posts ago.  

[Anny Road]

Had nothing when we were growing up. 45 years as a manual civil servant gave him a great pension and a bought council house for 10k.

Good luck getting that now.

That’s the exact point he’s making you dense twat

Ha. He's got you there, to be fair! 

[Anny Road]

Point is we are not better of these days than they were. Safe secure employment, free education with grants, council accommodation, good pensions.

Your average working class lad has a much tougher time now supporting a family.

You’ll live longer than him, you’ll be healthier than him, you’ll have access to technology that would have been science fiction in his day.  You can get to the other side of the world in less than a day and have free education until 18.  So yes, a lot better.

Technology can be a negative as well as a positive. My old man was not getting emails and phone calls at 11pm

Plus the music was better and we won the league occasionally.

The point is when you have thousands of people living on the streets, over a hundred thousand killed by austerity measures in the worlds 5th richest economy, violent crime rising, racism rising, environmental disaster around the corner, massive economic inequality, earth’s resources pillaged for the benefit of a few rich cunts, the prevalence of propaganda driving the news cycle, zero hour contracts, children in poverty, people starving to death or having to use food banks to survive - things are not fucking fine just because some, or even most of us can afford to run two cars and have a two week holiday every summer. This is an ever expanding, ever more precarious bubble and it’s going to burst in all of our faces. 

[Davelfc]

Haha, live longer. So they take your home to pay for your nursing home, where they abuse you. Not to mention they keep moving that pension age. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

PM making a statement at 10. What’s that about then?

[ZonkoVille77]

I'm alright, Jack.

 

 

[aRdja]

Drugs were bettering cheaper in the 90s apparently, so technology hasn’t done much good to our fun.

Brexit is fixed and we are all millionaires.  Happy days

[Red Phoenix]

I don't see why Corbyn's leadership should be called into question just because all of the tories voted to stay in power and dup are backing them up. All other parties combined can't do anything unless there's some type of real tory division. Maybe if it was at a later stage and it was either no deal brexit shortly or no confidence we'd be facing an election. Right now though they're probably more concentrated on hoping some type of better deal can be worked out and that situation avoided.

Someone hit her in the head with an egg for fucks sake.

[moof]

She is a cunt

[Numero Veinticinco]

Well, that was a waste of time.
