the whole definition of the baby boomers is that they were born during the post-war increase in birth rate. there may be some war veterans in the mix amongst the older generation, but they are dominated by the post-war babies.
casual homophobia really enforces your point, well done
again, these people didn't fight in the war. it's also ironic, too, that the majority of the leave campaign was forged on a bed of xenophobia and this weird resurgence of post-war british nationalism. these people are not ****ing freedom fighters if they're denying refugees from war-stricken areas to find safety. fascism is on a dangerous rise in western politics.
they had the best of britain handed to them: free education, affordable housing, social mobility and golden pensions, everything which they have now taken away from the younger generations.
nope. they CAUSED the 2008 economic crisis, i.e. the worst since the 1930's. we, as young people, had to live through that, and now we're witnessing the pound crashing right now and will have to deal with what will obviously be a **** state of trade agreements post brexit.
the eu has given us skilled workers, it has given us security, it has help us shape our laws and has given us freedom of movement/accessibility to beautiful parts of the world, it has given us beneficial trade agreements and it has given us one of the biggest voices on a huge international platform.
these people are longing for a nostalgia that they'll never get back, and instead are taking away the future from countless young people without having to face the consequences.
but yeah, the older generation just rolled up their sleeves and got on with it, why can't these entitled millennials do the same?
