But low wage asset rich is never going to happen again, the younger generations need politics to help them at least have a stable income and housing, your elderly relative at least had decent stable housing, working during a time of prosperity and peace whilst the UK was part of the EU with frictionless trade and free movement both ways.
But people don’t want that anymore, so we don’t have it. You win that one, think we can all agree it’s working out well.
We, as a household, are in no position to be bitter, we have dual EU passports for the teens, and their grandparent inheritance skipped us and has been entrusted for them. (We are ok regardless of who is in charge). They can even take the state pension from us (we would still be fine).
And yet we vote for parties that will take more tax because we want to be part of a society that doesn’t blame “insert group here” immigrants, leftie BBC, European Courts of Human Rights, The EU, France, I am sure there are more, anyone but ourselves.
This is the difficulty in discussions nowadays, individual cases don’t matter, but everyone thinks that is all that is of concern. We do understand why some people are wetting themselves thinking Reform are the answer. But I don’t think they are, not economically, (except for a handful of private enterprises), not socially and not politically.
Still at least we can leave this country I guess not everyone has the option as easily as we do.
