So much anger against older people

Yes, Gettingonabit, hopefully everyone will feel more engaged next time there is an opportunity to vote and that would be a definite plus.
Am just watching the news and the rise in hate crime against immigrants is shameful. Bullies picking on those who can't defend themselves. I wouldn't want to be an incomer to this country right now.

There was a demonstration of youngsters outside the Welsh Assembly today blaming us "oldies" for Brexit. I must admit I think it's good to see them so interested in the process of democracy in action, even if they don't like the result much.

Perhaps it will have taught those who didn't bother to vote but are jumping on the 'blame' bandwagon a valuable lesson about actually using their enfranchisement next time!

But the young know EVERYTHING, they are never wrong. They don't even have to cast a vote to achieve a majority for what THEY want to happenin any election - it is their God-given right always to have their way. They reckon the zimmer frames, hearing aids and bent arthritic backs of the over-45s would hinder them in a rumble.

The best scapegoats are those least able or likely to fight back against their attackers. The older generation probably seem less likely to punch their attackers on the nose and kick their arses into kingdom come. And all people over 45 are exactly the same, aren't they? They are OLD.

They have never heard that "We are none of us infallible - not even the youngest of us." William Hepworth Thompson

Now we perhaps are beginning to understand what it must be like to be a member of a minority group and the anger that is heaped on them at times.
