Watched it earlier. It's a crap attempt at class warfare & attacking the old. I for one have decided to stop giving my kids pocket money so they don't turn out a bunch of spoilt give it to me on a plate snowflakes.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
Indeed it fails to state things like
When she bought her house for £20k she was earning £1k per year and could not afford a fridge or carpets.
Also in 1981 mortgage rate was 17%
So yes like all propaganda it only shows the things the creators want people to believe without giving out the true facts.Comment

So, its now all the peoples fault they benefited / took advantage of political policies at the time.A Momentum spokesperson said: “We’re glad Pulling up the Ladder has sparked a debate about class and inequality. While a tiny minority benefited from both rocketing London house prices and a free university education, most people today face either increasing tuition fees, dire job opportunities or the impossibility of ever owning a home.
Labour and Tory alike.

Yes indeed - for the many and not the fewOriginally posted by MrMarkyMark View PostI'm sure house prices went up in Islington too, or did I miss something
e.g. it is alright to complain about everyone (e.g. the many) but not about Corbyn and his luvvies (the few) who also benefitted but we won't talk about that because it does not fit the narrative.Comment

Some typical ignorant lefty crap there.
Take the university fees thing, they are ignoring the fact that in 1968-9 there were only 410,000 students in higher education compared to 2.28 million in 2015-2016. The money that has to be found for free education is far higher.
Why should anyone pay for the many students whose prospects are not enhanced by higher education? Not to mention all the drop outs.Last edited by xoggoth; 28 July 2017, 15:12.bloggoth

There are currently 387 universities in Germany with a combined student population of approximately 2.4 million, paid for by the state resulting in a thriving economy.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostSome typical ignorant lefty crap there.

If student prospects are not enhanced then target universities chasing profits rather than providing for the needs of industry."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
