And your reply is fatuous. You take a comment about generational culture and reply with glib political left/right answer.

ps. The welfare state/NHS was created by the post war government to provide a safety net, not to sap the live and willpower out of the unemployed by creating dependancy culture.

But the baby boomers were born post war. 1946-1950.

They hit 20 in 66-70 but of course the dominant political culture was still from the pre-war/war babies.

The baby boomers hit 30 in 76-80 and their influence was rising. We then had 17 years of conservative government whilst the BBs went from 30 to mid/late 40s. They are all pushing 60 or retired now.
Did they really have their *greatest hour* when they were 47-51?

I think a nail has been hit on the head and a quote has been blown apart, but hey ho, keep trying.
