They also had access to free education, a massively subsidised council house buying scheme and countless other perks that their generational cohort voted for themselves, before pulling up the ladder by voting overwhelmingly for the Tories and Brexit in their gammon-flavoured dotage.

Given that society has also now set its economy on fire for nearly a full year, to deal with a virus that is not dangerous to the overwhelming majority of working age adults and lower, 'we need to think about the old' is not exactly the effective rallying cry that you want it to be. 

Why are you telling me stuff about free education, right to buy etc as if it's news?

I'm rejecting the analysis that says we can disregard the wellbeing of an entire chunk of society, be that based on race, gender, age or whatever.

To justify that by pointing to prevalent voting behaviour is utterly immoral.  Do you really need that pointed out?

Well we're finally living in upside down times.

I never thought I'd see the day I genuinely hoped the UK Government would step in and tell the Scottish Government to get a fucking grip about anything but with Swinney's absolutely batshit mental statement on never ending restrictions even after the population is fully vaccinated, here I am.

Yep. Very disturbing, but very indicative of the times.

excellent to see some proper problem solving going on, these will surely make vaccinating small rural communities far easier than building a hub for a day or 2. Excellent work.

 

 

Something I suggested weeks ago when folk were giving it "AYE BUT WHIT COULD WE POSSIBLY DAE TAE SPEED IT UP!?!?!?!"

Got to support American C&W stars who openly describe themselves as socialist. The modern day Woody Guthrie.
He's some guy, and (as I never tire of telling people) so much more than country. Like the Rainmakers, he's got a sound influenced by his background, but speaks truth in his music. Guys like him, Willie Nelson, and Neil Young are more relevant today than ever.

A brilliant and original counter argument, that one.

So an appropriate attitude towards all the elderly, or even those belonging to what's seen as the boomer generation, is 'f**k them?

Really?  Does that stack up for you?

 

I wouldn’t worry, he hates the whole world.  Imagine being so bitter at such a young age; a sad life.
