No loss of equality on your houses then, given it'll fire and brimstones all round?

Oh there probabably will be a loss of equity, if that's what you mean, but I never took that seriously in the first place. I'm not going to sell them anytime soon.

Which overseas territories were sold, for how much and to whom?

I think Goldfinger bought one.

Diego Garcia, Hong Kong, Singapore.

Maybe not for money, but for political access and trade relations.

So do you think all Boomers are rich. I think you'll find a huge number of poor people in the boomer age category.

Or is the problem that your cretinism causes you to conflate the rich elite with the older generation?

Give it a rest, it's common knowledge. To save another post:

"The new figures also point to a huge generational divide between wealthy older people and a younger generation which finds itself priced out of the property market and unable to access the lucrative pension schemes open to their parents’ generation.

According to the ONS, 40 per cent of 24-34 year olds own their own home, compared to 75 per cent of those aged between 50 and 65."

Boomers are disproportionately wealthy due to HPI, yes.

Ah, the beauty of speedy spell checking, but anyway, I asked for a figure. Care to state one?

You're talking mainly of home ownership here.
But when that older generation dies, their property will pass on to the younger generation.
So that's not a permanent generational issue.
In some cases the young uns will get something for nowt.
Unless they're poor boomers of course, which is my point
As for pensions, yes some public sector schemes were excessively generous, private workers never had the same.
So in that case the lower orders had it better.

The price was not being turned to glass by the Chinese. I added the emoticon to help with the aspergers.

No you didn't. You call PG thick for his comments which basically state that boomers have done very well at the expense of the younger generation. This is demonstrably correct.
