The countless OLDER people who are still pig ignorant, aggressive, egocentric and arrogant though? What is their excuse? They have clearly already lived their entire life that way and will die the same. They've lived most of their life and still not managed to grow or become more enlightened, and have been content to live in their small-minded little bubble. I personally don't see much worth respecting about that.

your grandfather and great grandfather who died fighting for the freedom and liberties you and I and millions of others now enjoy would be turning in their graves at these disgraceful comments. Maybe you should visit the somme or Normandy for starters then Auschwitz, educate yourself....maybe try going down the deep pit in south wales valleys to understand what these men had to do to earn a living for their families...try walking 2 miles underground carrying a coal pick a torch and spent the next 12 hours down there , then haul the coal back 2 miles.....
all these older housemates asked was to be left to sleep in the early hours, but no even that was too much to ask of this me me me selfish chavvy generation of benefit dependents
