He doesn’t does he.....
Jobs aren't plentiful that's ridiculous as a statement, unemployment is at it's lowest because zero hour contracts and an adjustment in the way that employment statistics are calculated. Cars aren't bought anymore they're leased, so people don't own the asset, they simply rent. Surprisingly house prices are cheaper outside of London, but like cars, people rent. Home ownership it at it's lowest in 30 years.
Final salary pensions, reduction in public services, reduced employment rights, lack of affordable housing.
Technology advances because of inherited knowledge and previous advancement. Perhaps a real measure to assess against is growth in standards of living, which for the majority of pensioners continues to increase, but for the average adult of working age, has greatly slowed.
How does that make him less Irish or less qualified to act in their interests?

Yes but the generation most effected is the generation currently 16-40. Baby Boomer’s were a generation that caused untold financial issues and privatised services around the country.
It’s impossible to argue with a man so entrenched and immovable. You are determined for your generation and yourself to only take credit and no blame - ‘did it all myself’

Pete, I agree with most of what you say. But house prices, even outside of London, aren't cheap....by any stretch of the imagination! By wage to house price ratio, houses are not cheap compared to 20 tears ago.

What do you mean ‘you on the other hand’ - do you mean me or the millennial generation?
And you definitely didn’t do it on your own, despite the bizarre and completely unfounded belief that you did. Like someone going into hospital to have a baby and coming out saying they gave birth all by themselves.

Cars are indeed leased. Why?. No one leases an old car, oh no, they all lease shiny new models. Why?. What’s wrong with an older car, they work fine these days, but it’s the status symbol isn’t it. You are all about image, no substance, just image, and then wonder why you have no money......

No one helped me.....

What do you mean by that?
You worked around the world - nationalised rail helped get you to places. Housing was affordable. You had the NHS. You will have been afforded extra helping hands as a white man (you may have had less if you were working class but you still had them). It’s bogglingly self absorbed and arrogant to suggest no one helped you.

Ha ha. ‘Don’t buy your avocado toast and you could buy a house’
People buy old cars, they just don't lease them. It's pretty hard to find an older model to lease, unless you're buying outright, which, as I've mentioned, be people cannot afford to do. A significant proportion of younger people don't even own or lease a car because of the cost to do it. Equally, standards for older cars are much poorer and in some instances don't comply with regulatory standards. Additionally, you pay much higher tax and much higher insurance to run an older car.
And who is the 'you' in your diatribe? You seem to be conflating two generations together. And I do fine thanks, you don't need to worry about my finances. I've not had any of my debt paid off by my parents, I've worked hard to achieve my position, genuinely social mobility stuff - unlike your spoiled lot apparently*
*Sweeping generalisations are easy aren't they!

I would suggest that you should re-evaluate what I have highlighted. It is too glib a thing to bracket everyone within a catchphrase to score a point.
It was a small clique of the top strata of society who held the reins of all financial matters (and still do) who caused the 'untold financial issues', not the 99.9% of the population one might call 'baby boomers'. That 99.9% had no role to play whatsoever. Ditto for the 'privatised services around the country'.
I hope you follow the distinction I have made. The elite ruling class have always called the shots on such matters, and continue to do so, and will continue to do so, as they will never give up their grip and control of things.
It's a cosy bubble he lives in, where everyone else is handed everything, while he alone made himself the success he claims to be today.

I was given nothing, inherited nothing. If you are referring to my kids then tough, because I’ve got a lot more stuffed away for them in the future as well......
