Yes, if the incoming generation are all like those students, they deserve better than they face.

In Britain right now Baby Boomers are seen as main culprits in the Brexit debacle, a cossetted bunch who, after benefiting from a full working NHS, welfare state, university grants, full final pensions, right to buy etc, seem to have turned tory for tax cuts. I've heard them described as 'The People Who Ate Their Children.' Generations X and Y seem to get away with being barmy, irresponsible and mostly drunk. Millenials are the new custodians of moral compass, but they have very little power and look likely to be poor, indebted with added climate change.

Still, despite occasional priggishness - and a weird unconscious tendency towards the enforcement of Goodthink - they seem like decent sorts, unwilling to start wars or destroy the planet.
