Do you ever worry that use of pejorative terminology like "underclass" to invigorate your objectionable stereotypes about poor people might make you look like, well, a bit of a pr1ck?

No? Oh well, carry on then.

Love it. The angry little man who starts a thread about hating "boomers" isn't happy when his own terms are used exactly the same way.

I'd lay off the salt if I were you. It's bad for your blood pressure and yours is clearly already in a very bad way.

So poor people who rely on benefits can use vouchers but middle class people like you should not have vouchers?

I never said that or implied that. I said if there were vouchers then the only people who would have to use them as such would be those people who had no other income source and even then there could be ways around it.

I never once condoned the introduction of vouchers I was infact saying that they wouldn't work even when the money was spent on the children unless every one had to accept them.

underclass doesn't mean poor people
sadly the inability of the left to understand the undrclass, means they can never help them

And again, the entitled voice of the Boomerati.

Let them eat cake, eh Clapton. Or rather, let them drink Special Brew, if its down to you and your friend westernpromise, fresh from your right wing meetings.

Right wing = anyone to the left of Stalin, but not as nice.

Toynbee weighs in on Boomers' housing racket:

Since Thatcher’s day, the Tory party has been ideologically opposed to social housing, with estates dismissed as ghettos for idlers. Yet for a previous generation it was often the route to home ownership, through the right to buy or through low rents allowing people to save for deposits to buy elsewhere.

Yes, the previous generation did very nicely out of social housing. Largely by buying it all up then selling it to their own children at usurious rates.


Some boomers, who worked in a factory pulling levers, contemplate using their house as a cash machine to leverage their unearned and untaxed wealth. Shortly after this they went on the internet to lecture a young nurse on £23k a year who works 50 hours a week and pays £1000 in rent about standing on her own two feet

Lived with parents for two years but still didn't have any money for a deposit at the end of that?

Despite all that still chose to have another child?

Theirs is an everyday story of modern family life.

Yes, it's called not taking responsibility for your own actions.

Typical privileged response. The young who can't afford today's stratospheric boomer engineered housing costs should just die out.

I suspect when you are in a nursing home requiring someone to carry you to the bath you won't feel quite the same.

What does this mean? Are you alluding to some people being unworthy of having wealth on account of doing menial jobs?

Typical response of the "yoof."

Ignore the issues. Ignore not taking responsibility for your own choices in life. It's always someone else's fault, innit.

If I read that article right that pair have 3 children, one job, and consider themselves owed a house.

So today's letter was "E" and the word was "entitlement".
