Not sure you read my post properly. Nowhere did I say that I want other people to endure it as well. As Harryflashman says, I want the best for my children and grandchildren and everyone else's. My post acknowledged that today's youth have 'different problems' but the solution is the same - hard work.
Perhaps I did. But many, and quite rightly so, young people have an aversion to being told 'things will get worse for you, but don't worry we had to endure it and we survived' when talking about Brexit.

It's nonsensical. If someone approached you in the street and said 'i want to make your life more difficult, limit benefits available to you and make you pay more for existing goods, but don't worry you just have to have faith it will get better, oh and work extra hard to compensate for it' you wouldn't think 'yep that seems a good deal'
 
‘The will of the U.K. people’. Just a silly little phrase. It’s the will of a slight majority in a legally non-binding referendum. We are a parliamentary democracy.
That people like yourself think it’s so important to implement the ridiculous notion of ‘will of the people’ despite the fact it will cause amazing amounts of harm is quite something.
Are you talking about the same Parliament that voted overwhelmingly to uphold the referendum vote and then done everything possible since then to do the exact opposite.

I'm not saying leaving the EU is a good or bad thing by the way. There have always been strong arguments for and against which is why the country is so divided in the matter. Both sides have valid reasons to support their views but equally there are also big negatives.

But don't hold up our countries Parliament as the "be all and end all" here. If ever Parliament has shown itself not fit for purpose then it's behaviour over Brexit is surely it. The whole lot of them, whether Tory, Labour, leavers or remainers have acted irresponsibly and self serving. It is an absolute disgrace.
 
So why the vitriol against younger people for not accepting their lot or wanting to improve it?

Why are we now living in a time of austerity?

I wonder which generation led us to this?

10 years of austerity
Wages stagnating for 40 years
A housing bubble ready to burst
The gap between the 1% and everyone else increasing
Household debt in the country at an alarming level
Far right parties on the rise in Europe
Life expectancy stalling for the first time since records began in the UK, and actually decreasing in some parts
Global (man made) warming causing droughts, wars, ruining the environment and depleting natural resources which will lead to more wars

''Every year things just get better and better''

...and quotes like this.....
 
Pay of the problem with this is that things branded as 'project fear' are happening now and will happen post Brexit.

It's not so much project fear as project educated assessment.
When do they get any assessment correct? also as anyone thought for any trade in the far east that is booming more than the EU?
why should the EU negotiate on our behalf , and we pay them £9 billion for their pleasure in doing it, we can do that ourselves.......
 
Continual moaning about how life is going to get hard, and still trying to blame the generation that gave them everything they have anyway......

You've got your golden pension and I imagine you retired at a decent age to enjoy it and your home is probably worth 10 times as much as when you purchased it.

You're alright Pete. You've had a good life.

You see, the young 'uns with their iphones and their scratchcard addictions are saddled with the debt that your generation has created. They wanted to remain and dictate their own future. They've had that taken away by a xenophobic, baby boomer generation who are hoarding half of the nation's wealth.

Whose that then? Most of "silent generation" have passed away or at least the very youngest are in their late 70s, they are the creaters of welfare state health and pension etc.

Insisted Unions have say in the workers they represented, so that the common man had a voice in their life and slice of the wealth.

While the baby boomer generation have gone about and dismantled their endeavours.
