You can say and express as you want, I would be the last person to stop anyone from doing so. Just because collectively there has been failings from a boomer generation who for so long was stuck in a liberal order mindset, doesn't mean they can't help the youngest generation from making the same mistakes.
To right the wrongs we can't be stuck in our old ways and we also can't be too impatient otherwise we risk losing it all beyond measure. That is really what I mean here. But day by day, it feels like a lot will be lost unless a lot key players in this story get their act together.
Being too liberal? Being fair and law abiding with no real interest in "politics" and with general faith in our leaders ?
How could we have voted to course correct ?
Did we even know that we were going off course at all when even in 1991 we were still nearly 95 % native population? I was just 37 and a married man with three kids working full time and paying tax, council tax and putting bread on the table.
And it is my fault?
What did the younger generations do to stop Labour taking power at the last election ? Surely they knew what was obviously wrong and should have put the country to rights?
Let's get real about this.
This country is in shit state.
But don't blame Grandad.
I don't blame my Grandparents for the out break of the First World War.
The old still stubborn and unwilling to change, and the young too impatient and overzealous being destructive. Not just one side not just one generation and not everyone.
I am talking about the old who have destroyed the country with their over liberal thinking letting anyone in and increasing state dependency by welfarism who are still too stubborn to change even when they can see the rotten fruit of their misguided labour.
I think that pretty clear from what I said in the original piece and in comments following from it. Keep your head and keep the perspective of correctly recognising between friend and foe.
As a " boomer" there is little point on commenting as I have nothing worthwhile to say.
I just wait to be told what my country should be by folk who know it all.
I will say it won't be politics that will dictate the future of this country it will be the Proles.
Solzhenitsyn spoke of the danger presented by "the man who just wanted to be left alone."
Let us see what he does as he finally realises everything has been taken from him and he has nothing left to lose.

Explain the "failings " of my "generation" then.

The old still stubborn and unwilling to change.
Why should they?
This is enforced destruction of a country they now barely recognise.
The young are lost souls.
Knowing it all and looking to blame older folk.
Well get on with it. I am past caring. At least we had some pride in ourselves.

Actually what this comes across as is the prevalent anti "Boomer" cant which I find spouted by several young right wing commentators.
