General Election 2017

[wellquickwoody]

Don't know the answer to that, but overall 27% of people 16 and over hold at least a degree-level qualification according to a recent BBC quiz I did.

Irrelevant as many more younger people went to Uni than older people.

Flight to Europe impossible. Wow, you must be really thick. No, I mean really thick. Can you fly to Switzerland now, or Egypt, or Dubai? Yes. I'll say no more, but if you really belive your post then you need help, otherwise it's just emotional clap-trap.

In the event of 'no deal', what replaces the various aviation arrangements we have as EU members, such as Open Skies, The ECAA etc? Over 80% of all our air travel, including to The US, is governed by these rules that cover landing rights, operating licences and ownership rules as they stand under the Chicago convention. Nobody in the aviation industry seems to have got an answer from The Government.

When did the 'No Deal' happen? Missed that one.

When did the 'No Deal' happen? Missed that one.

It's a bit like Brexit - it hasn't - but it's being mentioned by May, opinion from Europe is it's increasingly likely, The Foreign Affairs Select Committee concluded it was a 50/50 possibility and we've got less than 2 years to reach one.

 

[Billy the Fish]

If you start to think through the consequences, then you don't need a crystal ball. A "No Deal" Brexit, which is what May is leading us to, means 50% of our exports dry up overnight, most flights to Europe impossible, virtually all our imports caught up at Dover, mass exodus of EU nationals (NHS and other emergency services crippled), Sterling massively devalued....etc. Fortunately for them, the likes of Theresa May, Boris, the proprietors of the Mail, Sun, Express, etc - all of them will be fine. They are very wealthy, and won't give a toss.

Jim, I'm worried for you if you actually believe all this nonsense. Things will get sorted out and business will take over and the politics will find some middle ground.

You'll do yourself a mischief from all the worry and hysteria

Young people have no choice given the lack of opportunities otherwise and also given the fact that many jobs that never previously required university qualifications now do.

JC, and I do not mean Jezza! I want this, I want that, it's not fair! You do realise that you have not seen your immediate elders being lost in war, you do realise that your age group sends multiple times more people to Uni than ours ever did, you do realise that we had a 20 year old banger as our first car not a 20 grander on finance, you do realise that our stag night was in the Red Lion at the end of the street not a week in fxxkin Vegas, you do realise that we had a 3 day week, you do realise that our tea was bread and butter sarnies, you do realise that our honeymoon was a weekend in Weston Super Fxxkin Mare?

Getting on the property ladder has never been harder than it is now I readily accept, but for fxxks sake! Not everyone should get FREE Uni education, not everyone will get an amazing job, not all of us can have a Utopian lifestyle. But today's snowflakes seem to think the world owes them something, well, that £5 latte that you think is so essential just might teach you something if you try sniffing it hard enough!

So the baby boomers deserved stuff because the generation before them fought in a war? What an odd view. I thought that the NHS etc was born out of ideas regarding social justice not as recompense for relatives dying in world war 2.

Snowflakes is such an odd insult. There are plenty of labels that could be thrown at the older generation but there's little point.

You just sound like the "in my day" Monty python sketch.

I don't get why we shouldn't be making things easier for the next generation. That's certainly what I do for my kids and help them as much as i can. There's only one life and I want them to enjoy it as much as possible.

I know JITW and he's sensible. My PhD student, a lifelong tory voter (in her short life, admittedly) told me today she's voting labour. It seems that although we can't rerun the referendum, people feel we can take revenge. And this is despite everything (the shadow home secretary in particular). May has misjudged the electrorate. Back to Brexit, we are up against the entire rest of them over there. They may take pity on us, but would you, seriously? We have behaved like children, and we will get a smack before bedtime, not a warm drink, a cuddle and a story

Sick and hilarious all at once. The Murdoch attack dogs are truly desperate, Unfortuantely they will probably win, at the expense of all the decent people in this country who have a social conscience.

Don't you have anything better to do at 6.07 in the morning than immediately reach for your keyboard and start typing shit? Don't you have like a job or something to be getting ready to go out for? Have some breakfast first. Or a shower. Or a tommy tank. NSC will still be here when you're done.
