Neil Boorman. It’s All Their Fault

It’s All Their Fault A Manifesto

Neil Boorman

Table of Contents

GENERATION DEBT

Every baby in the UK is now born owing £22,500

Heaven help the kids who are being born into this mess

BLAME YOUR PARENTS

CALL TO ACTION

The plan is very simple: VOTE FOR CANDIDATES UNDER THE AGE OF 46 OR 65 AND OVER

This isn’t a fight between Left and Right or Labour versus Conservatives; it’s between Generation Debt and the Baby Boomers AND IT’S A FIGHT WE’VE GOT TO WIN

AGE IS MORE THAN A NUMBER

BOOMING POPULATION

BOOMING OPPORTUNITY

During the Sixties, consumer spending on household goods rose by 86% and on motor cars and motor cycles by 333%

BOOMING SENSE OF SELF

ACCORDING TO THE DR SPOCK MODEL, SCOLDING AND CONDESCENDING WERE OUT, AND FLEXIBILITY AND AFFECTION WERE IN

GENERATION ME

SELFISH

The greatest love, in case you hadn’t already worked it out, IS THE LOVE FOR ONESELF

GREEDY

IRRESPONSIBLE

2/3 of Boomers want to change their looks with cosmetic surgery and one in ten has already gone under the knife

HYPOCRITICAL

They drank, they smoked, they shagged around & they broke the rules

BOOMERS AT LARGE

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: BOOMER BUSINESSMEN

OUR VERY OWN SIR FRED GOODWIN, AGE 51, WAS VOTED AS THE GREEDIEST BANKER OF ALL TIME. NO WONDER, FOR HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL LOSS IN THE HISTORY OF THE UK

For his services, he paid himself a £16 million pension, drawing £703,000 a year for life

DOUBLE STANDARDS: BOOMERS IN POLITICS

IN 2008, ONE-THIRD OF SALFORD’S CHILDREN WERE LIVING IN POVERTY. MEANWHILE, HAZEL BLEARS WAS LIVING IN THE ZETTER HOTEL IN LONDON

GRUMPY OLD MEN – CELEBRITY BOOMERS

FAST CARS? DAD ROCK? SAGGING WAISTLINE?

THEM AND US

THE MONEY. THEM – £500 Billion in the Black

THE SCHOOLS. THEM

US

THE WELFARE STATE. THEM

US

THE HOUSING. THEM

US

THE WORK. THEM

US

THE COST OF LIVING

THE ENVIRONMENT. THEM

US

THEY BUY NOW. WE PAY LATER

MAKE NO MISTAKE, WE WILL BE WORKING PAST RETIREMENT AGE TO PAY IT OFF, WHILE THEY CRACK OPEN THEIR NEST EGGS AND KICK BACK ABROAD

THE TIME BOMB

1. Loads of Them – not very many of Us

2. They’re not going away any time soon

3. There isn’t enough money to go around

4. Someone’s got to pay

THE FACTS OF LIFE

PLAN OF ACTION. STEP 1. CHOOSE YOUR CANDIDATE

STEP 2. MAIL YOUR CANDIDATE

STEP 3. VOTE

REMOVE ALL DOUBT

THE TIME IS NOW

Отрывок из книги

650 DAYS. THAT’S ROUGHLY HOW LONG WE’VE GOT UNTIL A TIME BOMB GOES OFF IN THIS COUNTRY. IT WON’T BE THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT IT’LL DEFINITELY AFFECT US FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. IT’S NO GREAT CONSPIRACY. THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE COUNTRY – POLITICIANS, CIVIL SERVANTS, BANKERS – HAVE KNOWN IT FOR YEARS, BUT THEY’VE DONE NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT IT…

We’ve never been very good at turning up to the election box. After all, what’s the point of voting for people who lie as a matter of routine and break almost every election pledge that they make? And thanks to the expenses scandal, we know that they’ve been fiddling money out of the system for years. You’d be forgiven for thinking that politicians are all in it for themselves, and you’d be right; after all 70 per cent of MPs currently sitting in Parliament are Boomers. But that’s okay; we won’t be voting for them in any case.
