With election day approaching fast, and more sleaze and scandal about politicians emerging (Whatever the sums involved, the election betting scandal will linger in public’s minds, 20 June), can I appeal to the generation that can make a difference?
Baby boomers are surely the luckiest generation in Britain. We missed the world wars; enjoyed the benefits of a functional and free NHS; partied in the 1960s; and we have a triple-lock pension. Tuition fees? We were paid to party at university! And we own more than 75% of the private housing stock in the country, making homes unaffordable for young families.
