Rather than pillory my generation, Polly Toynbee’s ire should be firmly laid at the door of every one of those MPs who willingly colluded with this travesty.
I feel like this paper is forgetting some other group who is to blame for why those same MPs are still in power, as if they dont want anything to change.
Sadly, if you don’t bother to vote, aren’t organised and get distracted by other things, you end up with the current unfairness. Go to party meetings, watch the voters at the polls – the hair is overwhelmingly grey. A coalition of the concerned older and the disadvantaged younger is possible, but both need to turn up

"distracted by other things" like the smear campaign the MI5 PR outlet known as The Guardian ran against the candidate that was actually supported by the youth.
Baby Boomers are a very distinct, readily identifiable cohort economically, psychologically, and by several other metrics. They were born and lived during a unique anomolous period in history. Every other generation might be fake but the Boomer generation exists, has distinct widely shared characteristics, and is unlikely to be repeated.
Please stop blaming younger generations for the woes of today's younger generations
The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.
Why won't the young people stand up and take control we are so tired
God damnit you little snots not like that
