No right to water? You might want to rethink that. In the UK water companies are forbidden from turning off the supply to consumers, no matter how much they owe. They can certainly pursue them in the courts, but not shut off their supply. There's a reason for that.
I think the relative affluence of childhood plays a big part in Millennial attitudes to politics. I've noticed a stark trend among my 30-35 year old friends in that it's the ones who grew up in relatively wealthy white collar families in the 80s and 90s that are the most vocally frustrated and upset with their economic circumstances and the Tories. Whereas the folks who grew up in pit villages and council estates in the same period tend to be more sanguine and unimpressed with the current rhetoric.
Jordan Peterson made a point where he quoted George Orwell in "The road to Wigan Pier" about the middle class "not so much loving the poor as hating the rich"

Yeah and he's spot on in quoting Orwell on that.
I actually had it last weekend with my very PC, vegan, right on, cousin's husband and I had to press him whether it was more important to him to bash the rich or increase the amount of tax coming in? Because the two are mutually exclusive.
"“In essence they’re working for free, but I can tell you every single person who has knocked on my door for an internship or work experience has ended up with a job. Every single person, because they back themselves.” "
Has it not occurred to the dim bint that they're knocking on doors where the paid jobs are on offer and giving her a big swerve because she expects something for nothing?

Unpaid internships are the bane of society. Far too many industries take advantage of them - I have a few friends in fashion and media who've struggled with them, even after putting all in. I was lucky enough to work in the engineering side of things, where they really don't do unpaid stuff.
Hell, I wish I was in software right now, those are some of the best paid ones around - more than most people get paid full time per month.
I know a bunch of millenials. None of them are like the people being described here. They're all hard working sensible people who I admire a lot. I suspect a lot of the 'millenials ate selfish' media generated bullshit is just that - bullshit.

i used to think all the millennial articles the BBC keeps pumping out are meant to show their support for that particular age group but i'm starting to think its to give everyone else something to point and laugh at.
