What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

I remember - I threw a half-chorley through a neighbouring asian family's front window after posting dogshit through their letterbox.

I ran home and donned my Crusader costume from China, grabbed my plastic sword and went and got pissed in 'spoons.

Tradition.

Meanwhile, you have a look around and nothing looks different, cunts thinking they are American with massive cars parked up outside restaurants, kids walking round in a grands worth of clobber. Makes the average 150K on WW look like chicken feed.

A country addicted to debt

A country addicted to debt

Has it ever been anything different? 
I moved into my present home in 1990 withe a 6 month old child. Mortgage interest rates jumped from 10 to 15%. in less than a year. Took years for us to get back on our feet. Years of debt and sleepless nights. 
No social media then. We just got on with it and worked our way through it.

That time was horrific for many, loads lost their homes. Folk still do just get on with it because there is no alternative.

Social media has just replaced the same complaining but it now has a much wider audience than before.

Aye

But now people are “victims” of debt.

We’re supposed to feel sorry for them.

Like they were forced by Barclaycard to spend £1,200 on a Balenciaga sock garter.

People struggling to put food on the table is one thing, people fucked because they wanted a Range Rover but feed their kids from McDonald’s 6 days a week are another.

I recount my experience as an example of things being worse for some of us than the current situation and also that things will improve, hopefully. No one can predict the future. I suppose my point is that nothing remains static and that we have to adapt to changing economic uncertainties.

Whereas poor people with access to social media are just going to lay down and die?

That’s a big leap from what I was saying but as always, you’re entitled to an opinion.

I'd say it's way more difficult for young un's today.

I don't begrudge them a platform to have a moan about it.

I’d say it isn’t. I don’t begrudge anyone to have a platform though.

 

3 weeks old but still nails it...

Aldo's post suggests it is. At least in terms of getting on the housing ladder.

One tweet. It doesn’t represent the rest of the country. I bought my first house in 1976 to get on the ladder. The same house now is going for £140,000. It took both me and my then wife 3 years to save for a deposit. Never went out and we didn’t own a car.
Different times, different attitudes.
