"Divide and Rule" is not dead

"Divide and Rule" is not dead.
A rival think-tank - the right-wing "Resolution Foundation" - has seriously spoken of giving young people large financial handouts when they become 25. This is supposedly because the "social contract" between the generations has broken down.
There is no social contract between the generations. What nonsense!
It is incredible that this nonsense made the front page of the Guardian - supposedly the most radical of the mainstream papers.
It is highly unlikely to happen, and is an example of government by the media and diversion by the media.
"Divide and Rule" is not dead. In this case dividing society by generations. A new trick.
The housing crisis is caused by the abandonment of social democratic principles.
Not by any difference between the generations.
Poverty exists in all generations.
