The latest brainwave thought up by the clueless?

Everyone in the UK should be paid £10,000 when they turn 25 . . so hands up all those who think the majority of recipients wouldn't blow that on a new car, foreign holiday, beer/drugs instead of buying a house/flat

It [the report] found millennials, people born between 1981 and 2000, are only half as likely to own their home by age 30 as baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1965, were. . . . there were a lot more jobs on offer back then, and a damn sight more available housing being built.

If pensioners in work did pay national insurance, it could be used to provide extra funding for the NHS, something the older generations would be more likely to benefit from. . . . oh excuse me for not realising that nobody gets ill until they're over 60, and then they all want nose jobs, boob jobs, gender realignment, and weekly treatment for being out of their faces on booze & drugs
