Agree about young people wanting to save a get a house under their own steam. Never suggested that they wait for an inheritance.My point to that re house prices is it depends on the age of the grandparents, parents when they pass. It's not the most pleasant to inherit and get a house cos someone has died. Youngsters prefer to save up and not inherit through death
Also what about those who don't have that net to do it.
The price of housing is through the roof. Housing became a commodity and not a stable roof and security for pension age.
I think it was you who made the comment about over 50's not being given a choice on Brexit cos of their age in a scenario as to what could have happened
My point on that is the younger generation are left with the decision made. The 16 plus didn't get a say. Only 18 plus.
We won't be around as long and the majority of young people voted remain
There is no perfect solution. I expect the young people will take us back in one day and I hope I'm around to see it.
I do take on board your point about certain countries who don't have the same human rights etc and it being expanded to Bulgaria and so on
The only reason the vote was called was not over what the E.U wouldn't move on. It was called because of the E.U refused to allow the U.K a veto on the new law about offshore tax havens so our wealthy couldn't crash the economy when they moved their money offshore like they did in the bankers crash.
The comment re inheritance was made to dan as part of a response to his comment about people of a certain age having net weath.
If when death does occur children or grandchildren inherit , then surely that is a bonus for them. Never known anyone refuse it. For the record, I have never recieved a penny in inheritance, the state having taken virtually all of it to pay for Moms care.
The price of housing is a scandal. A collapse in house prices would be a good thing for people in general, unless you are using your house to fund other things.
If the price of my house dropped 50%, as long as all other properties dropped 50% its relative.
Re the youngsters voting, only 64% bothered to get of their arses and vote, so you could say they got what they deserved.
In a tight vote it could have made all the difference if they could have been bothered.
RE the vote Cameron stuck it in the Tory manifesto to try to buy off anti EU back benchers in the party and was subsequently held to it.
As I have said before rich folk will always find a way to move and shield their wealth, because it is they that make the rules for themselves, or control those that do make the rules.
They also employ the worlds best accountants.
I dont think the youngsters will take us back in because I dont think it will exist in its present form for any great lenght of time, unless it actually starts to listen to the peoples of Europe and currently they are not.
