Unfettered capitalism made all our beds. Get off your ass and change the system instead of whining about your mum and dad.

If you want to change the planning system get elected.

Why are you doing this? Lumping every single person born after the war into one convenient bag to kick. You have just plummeted in my esteem. What a childish, mindless post.

To every complex problem there’s a simple answer and it’s wrong.

Now you’re talking about you as an individual whilst I’m part of a grey blob. I used to admire you but now I see you’re an intellectually lazy hater. Goodbye.

Ah, you think pensions are welfare. You think welfare is a dirty word. You think making us poorer will make you richer do you? You think you’ll never be a pensioner? We have the poorest pensions in the developed world. Google pensioner poverty. But carry on with your lazy prejudice.

And maybe you should try understanding where power really lies in society rather than hating on older people as if they’re some homogeneous group.

Something I never said and know no one who ever said it. But try this piece for size: maybe you should vote. Join a trade union. Fight for your rights. Go on strike instead of obsessing about people who were born in the 50s

No. I’m mad as fuck.

Meanwhile the 1% who took all our money are laughing at you because you think it’s older citizens’ fault.

Do forgive us for wanting a fucking pension after working and paying tax for 50 years.

I’ve marched for peace, been a trade union activist, raised funds for charity, campaigned for Labour, set up a Christian CND group, worked in the public and charity sector for the public good and advocated for citizen involvement in research. None of this counts for the bigots.

Ah, boomers, the favourite group to insult, criticise, and mock. Forgive us for being born after the war, working hard for 50 years, paying taxes, bringing up kids, and not dying.

I’m selling my house right now and its nearly three months since the buyers offered to buy it. I still don’t have a date for exchange. And they could pull out at any time with no penalty. Overseas colleagues are astonished at our system. These proposals sound very unambitious.

They call it “repeated protests.”
As if persistence were a crime.

Every movement that’s ever changed this country: civil rights, suffrage, peace, equality, was repeated until someone listened.

Restricting protest because it happens too often is to say
“You may speak truth to power, but only once.”

Sunday isn’t Sunday without Stewart Lee. We were so thrilled at @thenerve.news that Stewart came with us.

His satirical columns for the Observer were some of our most-read content: funny, surreal, angry true. Essential weekend reading.
