Re: Osborne's 'Pensioner bonds' - bribing OAPs with everyone else's money
Aww Well I stand corrected.... but. My point still stands, I've heard it and seen it enough to know that whilst 'you' may not be guilty, there is definitely a tendency, perhaps encouraged tacitly by media that someone other than to politicians is to 'blame' for the current state of affairs. And I'm seeing on forums HYS type things a lot of rhetoric heading towards the 'lets blame the oldies/on benefits people, how dare they live so long, draining our resources... etc
I still believe that the younger generation need to buck up their voting, because it WILL make a difference, I'm also fervently glad I'm not 22 or so now (like my daughter) as I do think it's a horrible time to be young, with house prices being out of reach, comedy car insurance rates, general cost of living etc etc etc.
I'll throw in a left field comment about the Foreign Corruption money - sorry Foreign Aid, that we spend, as it's irking me considerably, I'm sure out of that money, a considerable amount of good could go on something.
