I was taught the earth was round and flat, like a pancake. Apollo landing came as an existential shock.

I don't understand the question. You mentioned your daughter's generation cannot afford to buy a house now.

In the 70s there were capital gains disincentives to selling your main residence and financial services were freed from various restrictions by thatcher. She lit the firework that set off the housing boom. We see the effects in house prices. Subsequent governments have not discouraged the process. It's only recently that they have removed buy to let mortgage tax relief.

The one good thing to come out of this story is that a pupil was brave enough to blow the whistle on these Anti-Brexit teachers. That gives hope that youngsters themselves are refusing to be indoctrinated by these EU partisan idiots .

The idea that all young people are pro EU is a complete myth.

In most EU countries outside of the UK around 60% can't get a job.
