"And considering that the 1950s/60s generation is the most pampered generation in the history of the British Isles, and that they have pulled the rug out from under the feet of subsequent generations by voting to make them pay for what we got free of charge, and Brexit, I think that the belief that we shouldn't consider the young is appalling."
As one of that generation I am the exact opposite of what you said there - we started with rationing, slum clearance, no inside lavatories, and in some cases no running water. In the country some of our neighbours had to rely on wells, along with septic tanks and dry toilets - even my school!
I believe the metric / SI system is a great advance for the less civilised UK, and took us away from the post colonial/imperialist/empire era. Brexit is doing the greatest harm to the country, the divisive nature of the Tories Referendum on EU membership was only there to placate the right wing of the party and even that was hijacked by the lunatic fringe.
No, of course I didn't vote for Brexit, and yes, I would vote for Corbyn's policies, and that includes raising taxes to ensure that those who have the means support their communities and society at large - just as those of us who started work in the 1950s and 60s did. I want my children and grandchildren to be part of the wider European/EU community, and I want them to have the freedoms we have all had taken away by the Johnson Gang and the Brexiteers.
I think I understand what you are saying - but please don't lump us all together as what you describe as the "pampered generation".
