@OldblueAyeAyes @lukerobertblack Ok, except they didnt. Younger generations are burdened with unprecedented education debt & the health service has been under funded for decades. Did you forget theres no such thing as society?

@lukerobertblack So you don't want to pay for the people that paid for your entire childhood education and healthcare? Yeah, the OAPs should just identify as foreign paedos, then you'd double their pensions no doubt.

“Maybe if you had a job” Duffy - I am 33. I have had a job since I was 14. Your almost cult-like obsession with Farage changes nothing. The state pension is a benefit paid by general taxation- ie people like me. I’m very happy to pay it - but there are limits to my generosity.

@Wozzo22 @tcanham459 Yeah, I hear the area has great commuter links to London, so theres bound to be a decent rental market.

@tcanham459 Could you buy it and then rent it out?

I'd also have to quit my job. And move away from everyone I know. To go to a place I've never been. And magically find 6k. And get approved for a 120k mortgage.

The counter points here are just open right wing boomer fantasy. "No you see my NI contributions would actually have become incredible wealth if I had been allowed to keep them, because I am the wolf of wall street, I am the gammon Gordon Gekko"

@AnnaOSullivan13 @ViledaMoppe @seledka_vodka Weird thing to say to a generation you've saddled with massive tuition debts.

@ViledaMoppe @seledka_vodka Did you pay for your own schooling and health care?

The debate on the triple lock - whether it's philosophically sound, genuinely conservative, and economically sustainable - is legitimate and worth having. But "why should young people pay for someone else's retirement?" is where you've already lost the argument. We all pay for the retirement of today's elderly because one day we will be elderly ourselves, and the next generation will pay for ours. This is a solidarity pension system. It is no different in principle to any other social contract we have collectively chosen to uphold - because we decided, as a society, that we will not stand by while old people die in poverty and destitution. I know what it looks like when that contract collapses. I grew up partly in the Soviet Union and was in Russia in the early 1990s when millions of pensioners were wiped out virtually overnight - their state pensions destroyed by hyperinflation in a matter of weeks. I watched frail old people, some without families, lining the underground passages in Moscow selling off whatever they had - wedding dresses, candles, whatever they could drag out of their cupboards - just to afford food. That is the face of a society without a welfare state. Most people making your argument have never seen it. They have no idea what they're talking about. None of this means working people owe pensioners a path to wealth. Of course not. The triple lock is a serious policy question and deserves serious scrutiny. But the foundational principle - that we look after our elderly as a society, as a tribe, even those with no one else - should not be up for renegotiation.

Amazed to see that a region inhabited mainly by very rich Tories has somehow become the epicentre of a cocaine epidemic. How could this possibly have happened?

@Gamesquidable @StephanieGailW You still didnt answer what degree of Holocaust you'd find acceptable.

@ko_oneill @StephanieGailW if the democrats don't get the votes you get MORE genocide, I guess you don't care huh.

@Gamesquidable @StephanieGailW Then why is this a problem. If most people dont care why insist on complaining about the people who do. Surely Democrats dont need their votes?

@ko_oneill @StephanieGailW You just have to open your eyes and see what people say. The amount of people who even cared about Gaza is not that high. I d say less than half. Iran is actually a terrorist state so they get even less sympathy. If you pick this hill to die on you wont achieve anything politcaly

@Gamesquidable @StephanieGailW ... ok, so if the worst one had been slightly less bad it would've been fine?

@ko_oneill @StephanieGailW Look how it's not a red line at all. look how you have to go for the WORST genocide to make it clear that actually a few genocides a big deal at all.

@Gamesquidable @StephanieGailW Genocide is kind of an absolute red line for some people. I assume you dont believe theres a degree to which the Holocaust was acceptable?

@StephanieGailW Well clearly they don't care about genocide if they are making ultimatums to the party that supports it less.

@cezthesocialist Not intellectuals your followers 😔

this should have got more likes

People are busy calling me names and miserable and I really don't care but what I do care about is how many of y'all misunderstand Star Trek???

I feel like a British person going on this show would experience the same culture shock as Americans do when they go on Graham Norton & everyone is drunk & talking about bums.

@monicapattison1 @weveallbeenhad @cezthesocialist The vast majority of people at or around pension age support austerity parties. I cant speak for you personally, but the demographics speak for themselves.

@ko_oneill @weveallbeenhad @cezthesocialist I would like the younger generation to get what I’ve got. It may not be much but it’s something. I want them to have their own houses, good jobs, marriage and family. I want them to have everything they want.

Young people overwhelmingly support policies that only benefit old people. Old people overwhelmingly oppose policies that benefit young people, and the entire economy, because they’re spiteful cunts. But remember its old people being bullied by lazy young people after their money

@monicapattison1 @weveallbeenhad @cezthesocialist Why would you want the younger generation to get old? Idk, because the alternative if for them to die young...

@ko_oneill @weveallbeenhad @cezthesocialist I’m getting on a bit. Why the fuck would I want that for the younger generation?

@AlanXee @cezthesocialist The oldest boomers are 80 years old. Generations prior to them arent statistically relevant.

@cezthesocialist Old people aren't spiteful cunts. It's literally only boomers. Most of the generations prior to them and after them have their quirks but don't hate young people, as a rule. It's the boomer mindset that's the issue.

@weveallbeenhad @cezthesocialist Right, but young people arent voting for hypothetical parties, they're voting for real ones. Also 35% is a minority...

@ko_oneill @cezthesocialist Where did I cite a party? The data shows 35% of the younger generation would support a party that backs abolishing the state pension. That fact alone disproves the OP’s claim of "overwhelming support"—that is the only point I’m making here.

@weveallbeenhad @cezthesocialist Name a Green policy for e.g thats explicitly anti elderly people

@ko_oneill @cezthesocialist Your opinions are valid, but they’re at odds with the claim that youth "overwhelmingly support" the elderly with their votes. The data simply doesn't show that, it's factually inaccurate, and that’s all I’m pointing out.
