And I got a train to London that cost almost that amount on Thursday.
Boo hoo, Labour is shit, I hate the darkies, etc.

The difference for Boomers was back in the day you could start with nothing but a trade and get the house, the spouse, the car and the kids and still have most if not more out the other side. Now you would need at least both partners working full time to even consider saving for a mortgage deposit.

With all due respect, Mr. Polarbear, "Pull ya socks up lad!" isn't gonna cut it in the 21^st Century and frankly we're all sick of hearing it.

If you want to get there for something during peak time without having to sit around before and after to travel outside off-peak time thats how much it costs.

I was out of the house for just shy of 12 hours and you will be very pleased to know it as at taxpayers expense.

"Boomer Blaming" is mostly focused on those with multiple properties who spout it was down to hard work and nothing to do with being in the right place at the right point in time. It distracts from the real terms slowdown in wage increases that began in 1971 and flatlined after the 2008 crash. Even the most blind have realised "we're being fucked!" since Covid.

"Oh? The natives don't want to be a slave class, whatever will we do?" And the rest, as they say, writes itself.

So a US invasion of Denmark on the cards this year?

I'm still not clear why Trump wants Greenland. They all go on about military security but that doesn't fly because they can have military bases there anyway.

Is there oil?

Trump Jt as going on about all the natural resources there that Denmark wont let them extract so yes, probably.

When people envisage "pristine wilderness" they're probably thinking:

and not:

It's a lot easier to sell environmental destruction with the latter. Let's be honest: there are "resources" everywhere it just depends on what you're prepared to destroy to get at them.

If boomer and genx became rich on rising poperty prices it's not their fault per se but simply a by-product of supply and demand in the housing market.

Demand from a burgeoning population - mainly through immigration.

Supply through lack of house-building -due to planning regs and wanting to keep the counryside 'nice'.

You therefore have to question why then people are still risking their lives (in some cases) to come here when apparently they will have such a shit time. and no house.

I suppose you could argue that the Labour Gov is looking to strip out some of that wealth with incresing Inheritance tax (by freezing the bands) and increasing CGT in some case.

Nothing to do with Thatchher giftiing them council house at knocked down prices back in the 80s.which is when the housing market started to overheat then.
