Kids today all they do is not moan. They would rather complain about frothy coffee than immigrants speaking forrin, the EU and transgender police officers or feminists, the internet blah blah
I don't think the kidz have used abbreviated text for over a decade Jan. They treat me like I'm a twat: "uninterested and unable to connect emotionally with the world outside." Has woman of the world Jan Moir ever taken a stroll down Costas in any high street in the country and had a look at the customer demographics? Clearly not. She is imagining the world when she was young when everyone bundled down the boozer, coffee drinkers were foreigners or 50s cats watching Tommy Steele play and there was little else to do. No cultural, intellectual or emotional connection with the modern world.
Millennials get a bad press, and no wonder. Look at them! Or to be more accurate, look at them through my vinegary gaze.
They are always wafting around in a daze, taking pictures of rainbows in puddles or scrolling through their phones with the intensity of a snake charmer staring down a cobra.
They spend money they should be saving on ridiculous pumpkin-spiced lattes from overpriced coffee shops, or ordering Deliveroo pizzas while worrying the wi-fi signal is going down in their safe space.
Like meerkats, they move around together in self-sufficient little gangs, sharing the same acceptable Leftist opinions, uninterested and unable to connect emotionally with the world outside.
No snowflake born in the past two decades of the 20th century seems to know how to dress a wound or put up a shelf or make supper out of an onion, a baked potato and a tofu sausage.
But they do all love Jeremy Corbyn because he is a freedom fighter and a vegetarian who digs Venezuela and wears corduroy ironically, just like them. They can only communicate within and beyond their circle via their smartphones or other hand-held devices, and even then only in cryptic acronyms.
They live by the maxim of YOLO (you only live once) and often suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out), even if they often have problems coping IRL (in real life).
Not all Millennials are like this, of course — don’t all msg me at once, haterz — but a recent survey did more to reinforce the stereotype than to knock it down.
