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

great house : is that Corbyns residence where he was born with silver spoon in his mouth and then never wanted for anything;

sadly I was born in a slum

but I have the satisfaction of earning everything I have, unlike the work shy Corbyn who avoided IHT with the help of his rich mates, the boomer Benns

Toastie's hero Jeremy Corbyn, a boomer with a big house and a final salary pension worth £1.6M. :rotfl:

Yes but he has a beard and doesn't wear a tie so it's ok.

with a salary of 130k pa, I would think that the IRA loving Corbyn's pension is worth more than £1,6M

You were the one objecting to what you yourself were doing, toastie.

Have you ever wondered if you're poor because you're not very bright rather than because you've been cheated?

Not to mention the fact that you would not be allowed to accumulate a pension pot large enough to produce a pension income that large.

10k of income would need around £200k in your fund so Comrade Corbyn's is worth about £2 million. There is a limit on us proles of about £1.5 million IIRC.

And that's despite the fact that he has never done a stroke of productive work in his life.

I'm not objecting to what I was doing. Why would I do that?

It's a shame you can't judge yourself by the standards to which you hold other people.

I suppose that's another boomer trait we are supposed to overlook. Like bedroom blocking and avoiding paying for the BBC.

boomers pay for the BBC: it's those people you admire of the WW2 generation that get free TV licenses
and not many under 70s bed block either.

I see now you're pouring scorn on the"Heroic Generation", also known as the Forgotten Generation because so much emphasis was placed on the Boomers.

Why do you disparage your parents?
