    Damn those pesky kids - if they hadn't been scurrilously encouraged to

    exercise their right to vote we could have continued hoarding our unfairly accrued wealth and contriving to pay little or no tax, and continued exploiting the workforce with zero hours contracts on a pitiful minimum wage - damn them!

    I don't mind them coming out in droves because of the Corbyn offerings, we are allowed to be greedy at times and that is democracy, after all.

    It's the fact that they couldn't be bothered to do the same last summer that irritates me. It shows an astonishing lack of foresight. I also find myself wondering what % of these same students have parents who would be hammered by Corbyn's tax changes and whether or not they've considered that and the impact it will ultimately have on them.

    Again, a lack for foresight. Or maybe they're all just thick nowadays.

    Its very easy to be a socialist when you don't actually earn any monies for yourself, innit.

    In short, they're all thick.

    When I was a student I was more strongly conservative than I am now and was fully aware of the need to be fiscally responsible.

    Age has softened me, IUFG.

    Not thick, I reckon. It's just life as it's been presented to them.

    Hmmm. Labour won Kensington. The richest constituency in the UK.

    EDIT: Of course Labour voters are damned whether they have money or not.

    Did they, by God?!

    Urgent new hobby alert for whoever the conservative candidate was then. And the party leader too, just to be on the safe side.

    London innit. They voted 60% to Remain and now they're getting their own back. That and the students in London jumping all over Comrade Corbyn's handouts pretty much explains the entire election.

    But on the upside, here comes a nice, soft Brexit.

    If they wanted to vote remain they should have voted Lib Dem.

    Soft Brexit = Fake Brexit.

    Then it's those parents' fault for not raising them right.

    Maybe this is the kids' revenge.

    It probably doesn't make too much difference anyway as nowadays there's clearly more than enough money and opportunities to go around.
