In praise of the Boomer Generation

That is what we disagree on. Now university costs. And houses are unaffordable.

The only way the young can get on is to receive from rich parents. Its a return to Victorian times. But then Britain ruled most of the world - so that makes it okay.

But that is NOT the Boomers' fault. In the case of university fees you are confusing the Generations. In the case of *UK* house prices you are describing as a Boomer theft conspiracy something that is just typical English selfishness and incompetence, not a Boomer plot.

Edit: I am not denying that things are tough now, but they have been tough for everybody. Boomers grew up in rationing and poverty and bomb sites and a class system that you wouldn't believe now. Our parents grew up without a Health Service and then had to fight a rather large war.

I don't believe its a plot. But they have benefited.

Time for inflation. Or a tax on zimmer frames.

Sorry, but time to fix the English housing market. The problem with that is the incredible selfishness of homeowners together with their farcical belief that they have become "landed" because they have a mortgage. But that's not characteristic of the Boomers, it's characteristic of the English.

Aye, let's take all nice fully paid up houses from Baby Boomers and put them into social care instead

"Relative to average earnings in society at the time, the baby buster generation could be around 25% less wealthy at age 65 than the baby boomers in terms of total accumulated housing, pension and other financial wealth."

How will the wealth of the baby bust generation compare with that of the baby boomers? - PwC UK
