They bankrupted the country with their social entitlements and welfare blah blah.
Now they want the next generation to pay for a cozy pension.
Sorry. It's payback time.Comment

Since the present state pension system came into force in 1948 I suspect most of the baby boomers born just after the war did pay for the generation before.
When most of these bought houses it wasn't to make vast profits, just somewhere to live. The market has done the rest because of short supply, not intentional actions.
To para phrase LOTR
"its not for us to choose the time we live in, but to do the best we can with it"
So stop fecking whinging, earn some money, save some and have a cosy retirement whatever.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment
