    The young have lost trust in elders and will seek to ensure a better future.

    The older people become the more they are resilient to change.

    The young witness the current mess caused by adults.

    They witness the political and global mess.

    They deserve a better future.

    They will year by year vote, they will
    not forget what some would have let them inherit.

    More and more adults understand and support them.

    The times are again changing.

    For me to blame older generation for today's problems is total rubbish, you have sensible and foolish people in all age groups, how many
    of us oldies do you see acting like total morons every Saturday night in town centres around the country, druggies, stabbings and no
    regard for the law, a lot of that behaviour is down yo a lack of guidance from their parents who are themselves part of the younger generation.
    I think it is a little patronising to have hippy songs pushed at us just to make your point. Personally I believe overpopulation is becoming a
    serious problem because there needs to be more of everything continuously produced and to keep up the production requires energy that
    in turn produces pollution of all kinds. Selfish sod that I am, I'm glad I had my life when the world was a better place to be.

    I agree with "you have sensible and foolish people in all age groups"

    Not to many of our youngsters have hippy links.

    50's, 60's and 70's youth are parents today.

    Thankfully, youngsters now in general are more thoughtful and
    should not all be tarred with the same brush.

    Talk to young people, they know more than some think.

    They are also more concerned than many others of the mess we are in.

    Politicians will if continuing at the same pace, end up leaving Europe to
    our young and they will have the aftermath either way.

    I think you are twisting things around a bit here Keith, my only mention of Hippy was the Bob Dylan song "Things they are a changin"
    which as said I found a little patronising, I've no doubt a lot of today's youth are sensible and and decent kids, when you talk of their
    worldly views I think they are mainly recicing what they have been told at school by a 20 something year old teacher, most probably
    left wing politically minded from what they picked up at their University, there is no way these children have any real experience to
    fall back on, for me that only comes from the school of life, where you learn the hard way through experience. At the end of your post
    you turn to politics, I won't go down that road as you know it's against the rules and my post would be deleted, suffice to say, today's
    youth know nothing but the EU, whereas us troublesome oldies remember very well what life in the open world was like.

    Keith, that wouldn't be the environmentally friendly youngsters that go to pop festivals and leave litter strewn fields when the festival is over.

    Having worked with youngsters much for a long time, you would be surprised at how much
    and what they do know.

    Glastonbury has re-cycling sorted, even tents are donated or collected and made into other items, Glastonbury
    also does not represent all and is mainly adults.

    After the festival was over, the owners complained that the majority had not USED THE RECYCLING POINTS provided.
    The whole are was strewn by litter and discarded items, which staff had to sort out.
