How many people really have the bank of mum and dad as an option these days? Some certainly do, but the problem with that is that you just exacerbate issues of inequality if not everyone has that kind of leg up. At least it was more of level playing field for previous generations.

Christ, Cambridge, I agree with you for once, that my generation did have a lot of advantages that the current one doesn't, and still you have a go at me!

Sorry! Promise it was not intended as having a go. Just elaborating on my point. Nice to be in (at least partial) agreement for once!

That's just a(n inaccurate) soundbite. Plenty had it easy. You've still not highlighted what part of what I said was untrue.

Who had it easy?

What does that even mean?

What did I say there that was inaccurate?

The bit about free school meals for everyone, for a start.

You keep coming out with comments like "what about a hung parliament" and you'll have me laughing all day.

What about as they don't have to lose many seats before they don't have a majority.

You're right. I should have said state subsidised and free milk!

But it's still state subsidised....

All you have done is pick a few things that appear to support your ridiculous assertion.

'Easy' is a relative term and cannot be universally applied to any generation.
Some people have a bug up their arse about house prices and university fees etc but I should remind you that many of the post war generation lived at home with their parents for a long time and had a very meager existence as children due to rationing and the struggling economy. If you grew up in the 70's it was hardly a picnic either with strikes, three day weeks, the cold war, s*** schools, no central heating etc.
It's easy to cherry pick facts that do not paint the whole picture especially when you were nowhere near being born when it was actually happening.

Well where to start! The guys as marxist as they come. Anyone see him on the Andrew Marr show on Sunday? I was listening to BBC Radio 5live this morning on the way to work and apparently even Tories are signing upto the Labour party and putting in a vote for him in the leadership race, along with hard line crazy leftists. Would be hilarious if he won the leadership contest. Labour would be even more unelectable, which serves them right after what they've done to this country.

First post on this thread worth a re-evaluation methinks.

If people earning over £80,000 pay a 3% premium then clearly that is marxist.

Not quite what he had in mind.......

His policies and ideals resonate with a hell of a lot more people than you ever imagined.
