A stupid, ugly and lazy generalisation indicative of a clumsy mind that struggles with nuanced thought.

The houses are all unaffordable to an obscene degree, thank to the boomers. Almost all the consumer items you mention are now made mostly or exclusively overseas, the jobs outsourced and long gone. Boomers cost the NHS far more than they pay in over their lifetime and as for "created the wealth" ... you are leaving a £3 trillion debt!

Thanks boomers.

House prices are high because the demand has been rising faster than demand.
The left are uninterested in housing the working people of the UK. They prefer to spend their efforts infighting, supporting the IRA and homophobes, keeping ordinary people's wages down and deducing their housing standards, by importing as many people from white, christian europeans countries as possible.

By filling them up and not making any more.

Wouldn't that be filling them up with your generation?

Where do you live? Are you in the South East by any chance? If so you are making assumptions based on no evidence. Which houses are overpriced? The ones that you can buy for £50,000 in the north of England or the ones where you live?

Houses in London were unaffordable in the 1960s. Most people who lived in London had to rent. Now who was responsible for houses being unaffordable in the 1960s it couldn't have been the boomers they were not old enough to buy them so who was it?

It isn't the fault of the boomers that you live in an area where houses are expansive that is your fault. If you had a bit more imagination and could take responsibility for your actions rather than blaming others you would have made an effort to move to a part of the country where you could afford to buy a house. It isn't the fault of the boomers that your current employer doesn't pay you enough to allow you to live in the way to which you would like to become accustomed. That is your fault.

So basically they are being selfish by not dying younger of illnesses that require minimal health care, thus requiring pensions for less time and freeing up their houses sooner.

Did you go to university? I really hope your subject wasn't History because you aren't very good at research.

The debt can easily be dealt with. All the government needs to do is to raise the tax levels to 35pence in the pound for basic rate tax. That is what the boomers were paying in the 70s. So before you blame the boomers for the debt you might like to think that today's workers are responsible for it because they don't pay enough tax. While you are thinking about that you might also like to think about who paid for the second world war.
