Slamming the Youth

So it seems that the Government is now no longer content to blame immigrants, pensioners, disabled people and the unemployed for this countries problems.  Now they have to have a go at the youth of today.

A front cover of a Spectator September edition featured a sulky teenager being carried on the back of a speedy old gentleman.  Message = the youth of today are lazy yobs who rely on their parents to survive.

Excuse me?  The youth of today would like to have a job thank you very much, if the Government would make sure that there is one going.

Take for example the case of the health food shop Julian Graves.  Earlier this year it shut because nobody was willing to buy it.  So, sure, there are Internet alternatives but the Internet does not provide jobs on the shop floor.  Sure the warehouse and delivery jobs are still there but the shop floor ones are now gone so that's what?  A third of a business' potential jobs gone?  This was a perfect opportunity for the Government to make a economic and public relations coup.  If the Government had bought Julian Graves then those jobs would have stayed and the Government would have had a business, simple model of goods out money in, to help pay off the national debt, the debt that they helped cause.

The youth of today is being penalised at every turn.  More and more business are going solely Internet based so there are less jobs going.  With less jobs more and more people aren't buying so more and more companies, both high street and Internet, are shutting down, which means even more jobs being lost.

The Government says that it is plugging the gaps with benefits but it is cutting back on them as well so that's even less money to spend on keeping someone else in a job doing, making, selling the service that the people want.  Instead of trying to discover ways to make new jobs, the Government is trying to cut 'expenses' by selling off every public service it can think of. You only need to look at the train system of Britain to realise that this model of 'economic saving' doesn't work.  You just sent yourself up for a nasty collapse as the share holders demand the prices are pushed up so that their quarterly statements look good and then everybody starts using their cars instead because they can't afford public transport.  Come to think of it that can't help the environment either can it?  All those extra exhausts on the road.

A better model of 'economic saving' would be if all the MPs took a ten per cent pay cut and used that money to invest in a business like Julian Graves, a business that could then start exporting it's wears to places like America and Europe so that we could start paying of our nation debt.  Oh wait, a moment that would take common sense and common sense is just too common for the likes of the elites that sit in the Houses of Commons.

After all, why else should students now have to pay £9,000 for their tuition at University in a world were further education is becoming a must, where as fifteen (15) years ago they would have received it for free?  It is so that the little darlings of the upper crust rich don't have to mingle with us commoners because we just might corrupt their minds with the idea that every human being, from the lowest working class to the riches old money, has a right to a worthwhile job and a secure future in this world.  Now that we can't afford to go to University the rich are secure in their fastness while the rest of us slid into poverty.

That is why I applauded the youth of today, who using their technology know-how, have created websites, apps and software that they can then sell to the big companies such as Yahoo for a slice of the rich man's pie.

Well done to the Youth of Today, who keep finding ways around the road blocks the elites set up.  Now all you have to do is find the Holy Grail of science - a clean, renewable, non-polluting energy source - and we're away.  Then the old gentleman of Parliament can realise that the only thing he's been carrying has been his own prejudices.

Come on, Youth who's up for proving the elites wrong?
