Regarding the baby-boomers - they have destroyed this country. Their liberal policies in the 60/70s gave this country endemic drug abuse, the highest per person crime rates in the developed world, the highest abortion and divorce rates in Europe, family breakdown, the collapse of Christianity and its replacement with the alien religion of Islam/the moral vacuum of atheism, they took us into the EU, they were the ones who demanded the massive increase in public spending/private debt that have caused the current economic malaise and they are the people who have refused to breed sufficient children to support their astronomical future pension costs.
The baby-boomers are the most selfish, short-termist and unpatriotic generation in British history. First they corrupted British morals, then British culture, then British society, then British politics and now the British economy. There is no aspect of this country that has been left untouched by their poisonous nihilism. Thatcher tried to reverse the wanton destruction of these people, but she was confronted by too many enemies and ultimately failed. The spread of corruption and
sleaze in public life subsequently accelerated during the Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron years.[/quote]
