Perhaps you could go back to that thread and answer the questions I put to you. As I recall, you were the one making up stuff and were so battered by the truth of my argument you flounced out of it.

I'm changing my viewpoint on this. Thanks again for the info.

Well you certainly do that. I've never seen so many new contributors on this board as I did after your boomer posts.

As it’s revealed today’s young will be 25 per cent worse off than their parents, the Newsnight presenter says he and his fellow Baby-Boomers have bequeathed little worth celebrating...

Baby bust? On average, young professionals will have accumulated £400,000 less in wealth than their parents by the time they turn 65

Paxman
Some other boomers
That just serves to reinforces my point.
Paxman is a typical BBC leftie, wracked with middle-class guilt. Predictably he's also wracked with post-colonial guilt -- you only had to watch his series on the British Empire to know that. If he supports this ridiculous argument then frankly it just strengthens the case of those calling it out for the rubbish that it is.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

Paxman? Leftie?
First for everything I guess, and thats the first time I've heard him called that!0 -
Maybe Willetts is a leftie too, a secret closet leftie who just happens to masquerade as a giant neo-liberal cheerleader in a right wing government.0

I thought Willetts would come up once Paxman was debunked -- a non-entity on the fringes of the cabinet who may well be pushed aside in the next reshuffle. You can always find somebody have written something to support almost any theory, however looney, be it flat earth, Elvis living on the Moon (where Apollo 11 never went), or George W Bush having engineered 9/11 for political purposes. I have yet to hear of anybody really credible from the older generation supporting this baby-boomer guilt nonsense.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
