UK Inflation and the next generation.

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Hede Maria Cavell, Thursday, 19 May 2022, 16:42

Having listened to the governments'  concerns  surrounding  the impact of inflation on  future generations , l have to wonder, what impact do they  think it is having at present ,on the next generation?

 Obviously they are reviewing the situation through their eyes and not the children of the present, who just happen to be  the next generation.

 This begs the question, how do the government view the next generation ?

Is it through their own childhood experiences or is it a combination of their own and others?  

 It appears the governments view is one of ,' it is not essential  for children to have a warm home and a stability'.

Have we actually progressed to being able to provide the basics for the family or have we regressed ?

Sadly some MP's do not have any idea how versatile the public are compared to themselves.   Comments made by MP's to degrade others less fortunate than themselves in society show their lack of awareness. Could it be  they themselves have come from a privileged  background or have they  been able to have the 'breaks' to allow them to be in their position and,  believe everyone's circumstances are the same as theirs? Thus no concept of diversity ! Why become an MP if you only wish to condemn and not assist others ? What impact do those comments have on the next generation? 

We have had and still have a global downturn , however if the family unit is unable to cover its own costs how will it be able to spend and put money into  the economic system of the country ?

 The people can see through the governments justification and excuses at spending money on contracts such as Rwanda ,what actual return and  benefit will filter through to the tax payer  when there is such an economic downturn in this country ?

The government appears to see fit to change the criteria for those wishing to study at university and hike up the loan repayments, how can that be 'leveling up'  and creating a diverse workforce ? What does that say to our next generation, that is is better to seek those that have been trained and qualified in other countries , such as nurses etc than to invest in the next generation within this country?

Where is the  'big'  investment into this country, by this government that will benefit all and not just a few ?

 What do you really think children feel right now when their parents are full of anxiety and are  stuck at every turn ? How does that affect the whole families mental health ? Is that good for our country ?

 Do the government have no faith in this country or future generations ?

Do they think that future generations will be incompetent ?

Is this, what past generations thought of us?

If if so they were right to be worried because it appears its this generation that is unable to cope. 

Its a complex world , but why do we have to make it harder for ourselves ?

Hi Hede,

I agree with you things are getting worse. Young people are suffering now too. Lots of feral children hanging about in the streets because parents dont want them in the house.

Good points.

Best Wishes
